 Where does your new investment measure up since 2000? Does it matter? 

[Russell Brazil]

Real estate is so hyper local.  Looking at an individual city will never tell the whole story.  Look at DC....some areas say like Logan Cirlce are many many mutltiples of what they were in 2000, and other areas may not have budged at all. Same thing in the Boston area...Somerville is many many multiples what it was in 2000.
