Hey, thanks for posting this to HN. For those curious, our designer/CEO (DEO!) Judd Schoenholtz made the graphs in Sketch (we're huge fans). A little trick from him on making the bars to scale... use the actual values as the pixel heights then scale group to your desired size. Seems obvious but I would have done something dumber and more complicated.

As for the data, it's from the SFAR MLS (we're a participating broker member) and was double-checked with data from Paragon RE. If you want it, email datarequest@openlistings.com (I think we need to pull it into its own spreadsheet but I'll post the link here when we do).



Statistics are misleading, particularly median [1].

Post the same graph with volume of sales under it (like [2]) to actually make it meaningful.

Box Charts would probably be the best way to look at it.


The graphs look nice, but two things which imho could have been improved:

- the y axis doesn't start at zero;

- it is not clear exactly when each month on the x-axis starts.
