Reading it. Nominal dollars, the sale prices of the day. The mix of homes sold shifts over time, so it is not a quality-constant price index.
About the bands. Shaded spans are NBER-dated US recessions, drawn as factual overlays. They mark when the economy contracted, not why. Lining an event or policy up with a move on this chart is not evidence that it caused the move.
