Case Shiller home price data

[Robert Simpson]

The attached file contains date from the Case shiller home price index. This data is available at the Chicago Mercentile exchage. To find it, do a search for "CME, housing" click on the result the talks about housing futures and options.

You will have to sign up for the site, but it is free and I haven't had any problems with it.

On the attached data I inserted graphs of the Atlanta and Miami market history. Just click on the tabs on the bottom of the screen to see the data for the indicated city.

A bubble is clearly present in the Miami data and that market should still have a ways to fall. The Atlanta market on the other hand shows nearly straight line appreciation. Atlanta will not fall nearly as much as Miami will on a pecentage basis.

You can use the Shiller "A history of home values" to put the Case shiller data into context.
