Case Shiller Home Price Index, from Mark McNabb
Interesting tidbit on Case Shiller home price index: what sizeable metro areas are not among the 20 cities?
The west has eight of the 20 while NE and Rust Belt have seven if you add in DC, leaving five to cover the Mason Dixon states and Texas. Seems they need to add five cities to that index.
Also, Charlotte prices climbed year over year on today's report, but I would think there has not been much compression in Austin with only a 1.5% vacant home rate compared to national average of 2.8% according to US Census data (contrast this with >5% in areas of Florida).
