How to read these figures

Each figure names its own month: Zillow's home values and Realtor.com's listings data publish on their own schedules, so the two can sit a month apart. A figure describes that month, not the day this page was updated.

Axes fit this state’s own spread and always include zero. Pressure tends to turn before prices do, which is what Cooling and Firming name.
