39 Years of Price Gains

Be The First To Comment

Despite all the news headlines over the past year about the housing market bubble and housing market slump, the final figures for 2006 actually look quite respectable. Home prices squeaked out a gain of 1.1% for the year. That means that in the 39 years of the National Association of Realtors tracking sales and prices, each and every year has posted positive home price growth. Existing-home sales in 2006 posted 6.48 million units – an 8.4% decline from 2005, but still the third best year on record. The more cyclical new home sales fell by 17.3% to 1.06 million in 2006 for the fourth best year on record. All in all, not that bad.
