CoreLogic Home Price Index July 2011
I believe our region has something else going on other than the mortgage collapse and housing bubble. If you look at this data, and other data comparing us nationally we are not doing well at all. Our unemployment rate is better than nationally, however we are still losing jobs. We are also losing households in the 7 county metro region, which has a big impact.
The funny things about these reports is the true meaning of the data gets lost in translation. For example, regionally our median and average home prices are way down. That doesn’t mean that all home prices are down by that percentage, it is more reflective the price ranges that are selling bringing the average and median price down. That is part of this, but I would assume that would be the same in other markets but maybe not.
Now it may also be that we are the market that is actually correcting quicker so it looks bad right now, but in the long-term is a healthier market. This is a theory I don’t know how to prove other than with 20/20 hindsight. In other words, time will tell.

Look how we make the top 5 list… (view CoreLogic’s full report).
