How to read the chart
Each point shows the Zillow Home Value Index for Vancouver: in that month's dollars, the smoothed and seasonally adjusted value of a typical home in the market's middle third. A hollow dot marks the month chosen on the slider, and a terracotta dot marks the latest month. Inflation is not taken into account in these figures. An index follows the typical home, not any single house. To find the value of one house from the price it sold for, use the card above or the home appreciation calculator.
