How to read this chart
Each point represents the Zillow Home Value Index for Syracuse, which measures a typical home's value within the market's middle third using smoothed, seasonally adjusted figures in that month's dollars. The hollow dot shows the month selected on the slider, while the terracotta dot shows the latest month. These figures do not account for inflation. The index tracks a typical home rather than one particular house. To find a single home's value from its sale price, use either the card above or the home appreciation calculator.
