The median home is the house in the middle of the market: half of homes sell for more, half for less. In dollars, that middle price has climbed steeply over the past decade, which is why buying a home feels further out of reach for many families. The orange chart divides the same median price by the four year average Bitcoin price.

Home prices depend on interest rates, supply and where you live, and the median moves when the mix of homes sold changes. None of that is untangled here, and nothing on this page says what prices will do next. It is simply the same number read with two different rulers.
