For homeowners in Whitestone, the question is rarely “is the market up or down” — it is “is the current direction supported across multiple windows.” Looking at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month change gives you a multi-frame view: short-term momentum, mid-term direction, and long-cycle trend.
