I came across an article from Inman Real Estate News this morning which has some interesting information for Canadians trying to figure out what’s going on south of the border.
A few observations:
1. Year over year, November 2007 vs. 2006, prices rose in 31 states, and fell in others.
2. States that experienced larger declines were Florida, Nevada, Arizona, California where prices had risen astronomically during the housing boom.
3. The chart below gives a quick overview of price increases and decreases in some major cities in the U.S.
4. Canadian Investors: Many clients have indicated they want to purchase in the U.S. in the markets where prices are declining, for investment purposes. This chart gives a good summary of valuable data.
