Case-Shiller Home Price Index

The press has done it again ??? with the release of the latest Case Shiller Home Price Index they used data from the worst parts of the country to make a point that housing prices are back to 2000 levels.?? Have you seen the Wall Street Journal article??? If not, here is a link:?? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303657404576357170425058088.html?mod=ITP_pageone_0??

Remember that Philadelphia is NOT included in the Case Shiller composite index that is released to the press.?? In our area, prices are NOT at the 2000 level!??

I???ve completed charts with the same data as those you???ve seen in the news, but these are for OUR market areas ??? please ??note the counties listed in each metro area.?? Yes, prices have come down since their peak in 2007 but you can clearly see that our area???s housing has remained an incredibly sound investment.

A message from our Ceo Larry Flick regarding a recently released Wall Street Journal real estate article

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203479104577124360560884468.html

???Housing Imperils Job Gains??? ??? what a grim headline!?? Yet the Wall Street Journal pronounces this to be a general fact.?? It???s another example of how the press generalizes real estate markets and bases headlines on areas of the country that are most adversely affected.?? The article explains how ???price slumps??? are keeping workers who want to relocate ???tethered??? to their present homes.?? In other words, those with negative equity in their houses are less apt to relocate to accelerate in their career track.

Yet, when we look more closely at the article, we see this doesn???t apply to our area.?? In fact, of all the locations listed, the Philadelphia metro area is one of the best performers in the country both in Share of Homes with Negative Equity and Unemployment Rate.?? So, when your clients see headlines like this, remember to help them to understand that they don???t necessarily apply to our area.?? Help them convert this information to knowledge that allows them to make better decisions.?? After all, isn???t that why we are here?

I have attached the PDF of the article for your reference.
