Hate the data it contains.
As someone with a professed love for visual representations of data, I was looking at this post by real estate analyst Jonathan Miller at his real estate blog, The Matrix.
I didn’t have time to read his analysis, but scroll down and look at the maps of the US. Note the dates of the data (always important) and then look at what the maps show. I’m kind of amazed at what’s going on around the country. The data seems to have been gathered over the last 4 years, but the data display is interesting. It’s kind of frightening what’s expected of consumers trying to buy their own home in many metropolises. Did we have to piggyback our mortgages? In doing so, did we create a false demand pressure not truly representative of the price of the real estate? Of course we did, but the bubble markets in all the press have related correlated data to go with it in terms of foreclosure trends, etc. Just take a look!
