03.17 20:30 UpdatedFair Value Reasoning:
Based on the recent Parcl Labs Austin Metro index data (approx. $230.65/sqft) and the settlement rule's fixed median size of 2100 sqft, the calculated median home value is approximately $484,365 ($230.65 * 2100). This figure is significantly above the threshold for the '>425k' option. Although the prediction market is currently heavily betting on '405 - 410k' (implying ~$194/sqft), this represents a massive disconnection from the underlying data. Unless the index suffers a catastrophic crash (over 15%) in the next two weeks, '>425k' is the mathematically certain winner.

Rule Risk
There is a definition trap. The settlement price is a synthetic value calculated by multiplying the 'Parcl price index (price per square foot)' by a fixed '2100 square feet'. This may differ significantly from the 'Median Sales Price' reported by mainstream platforms like Zillow or Redfin. Users relying on general market data rather than the specific Parcl index risk misjudgment.
Movers
From March 16, 2026 to March 17, 2026, the price of '405 - 410k' surged from 47c to 83c, while '400 - 405k' plummeted from 47c to 10.5c. The reason is that the market seems to have reached a strong consensus within this range, eliminating previous hesitation; however, this contradicts the actual high value shown by the Parcl index (implying >425k), suggesting the market may be reinforcing a collective misjudgment.
From March 15, 2026 to March 16, 2026, significant volatility occurred across multiple options, with both '400 - 405k' and '405 - 410k' rising from ~22c to 47c, squeezing out the fringe options.
Divergence
Market prices are completely disconnected from the underlying data. The prediction market's bet on the $405k-$410k range implies a price per square foot of $193-$195, whereas official Parcl data shows prices above $230 (implying $484k). This valuation divergence of nearly 16% is extremely rare and likely due to most traders failing to read the '2100 sqft' settlement rule carefully, mistakenly applying a different average size (e.g., 1800 sqft) from other Austin data sources.
