Do not assume it continues. Underwrite between the two. Measure growth per square foot. Enid median list price grew 2.1% a year, but price per square foot grew 2.7%. The gap is smaller homes, not weaker growth. The house you buy will not shrink. The one-year rate is a timing signal. It is not an underwriting input.
