<title>Past Housing Price Corrections</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        National City Corp and Global Insight, the source of this data, define "housing price corrections" as declines of at least 10 percent over two years.  The goal of this interactive map, which currently shows 40 of 66 cities impacted, is to help protect homebuyers by showing local price corrections in a national, historic context.  If you were hurt by a previous housing downturn, please click on (or add) the appropriate city to the map and tell your story.  If you'd prefer to talk rather than type, call our record a podcast line:  617-661-4046.  Here's an example of lessons learned from riding two real estate cycles:

HOUSING BUBBLE CORRECTION COULD BE SEVERE
U.S. News & World Report (6/13/06)

"In the first quarter [of 2006], home prices nationwide rose an additional 7.3 percent, according to a joint study by the financial services firm National City Corp. and the research firm Global Insight. As a result, there are now 71 metropolitan areas–representing nearly 40 percent of all single-family homes–that can be classified as "extremely overvalued," according to the study. By comparison, only 64 metro regions were considered frothy at the end of last year and only 1 percent were classified as such in the first quarter of 2004."

"The fact that this number of metro areas – representing such a large percent of the total single family market–is extremely overvalued should be a cause for concern," said Richard DeKaser, chief economist for National City.

The bottom line: Real estate prices eventually correct themselves. And unfortunately for homeowners, it often takes years before home prices start to rise again, especially after a big run up.

National City recently studied 66 major metro regions over the past 21 years that suffered through a 10 percent or greater decline in prices for at least a two-year period of time. It found that home prices, once they begin to correct, tend to decline 17 percent on average before markets heal themselves.

"And the average duration of these adjustments is 3.5 years," says DeKaser.

DEFINITION:
Valuations in excess of 34% are classified as "extremely overvalued."  A complete ranking of overvalued and undervalued housing markets, as well as past price declines and duration of market corrections are available in PDF form from the link below:

==========

If you owned property in Houston during this price correction, or another downcycle, please post comments below.  Better yet, ADD the location of your former property to this map and tell your story so others can learn from your experience.

Our goal is to protect potential homebuyers, particularly those contemplating risky loans in overvalued housing markets, from making costly mistakes.  If you were harmed by a previous real estate price correction:  (1) what advice would you give to someone buying a home now, and (2) what should they know about the current housing market?  If price corrections are already underway locally, post your comments or locations of properties on this map:

http://platial.com/realestatecafe/map/7060

If you are househunting outside Boston, The Real Estate Cafe would be glad to refer you to an exclusive buyer agent -- perhaps one contributing to this map -- and rebate one-third of our referral fee (where allowed by law).  We'll donate the other third to help save lives or provide shelter subsidies for AIDS orphans.  Did you know there are more than 15 million AIDS orphans worldwide?

If you are not in the housing market yourself, you can help friends save money AND save lives by emailing this link to anyone buying a home.  Alternatively, ask them to visit http://www.realestatecafe.blogs.com, email RECafe@mac.com, or call us at 617-661-4046. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/94991">Map this on Platial</a><br />

Our goal is to protect potential homebuyers, particularly those contemplating risky loans in overvalued housing markets, from making costly mistakes. If you were harmed by a previous real estate price correction: (1) what advice would you give to someone buying a home now, and (2) what should they know about the current housing market? If price corrections are already underway locally, post your comments or locations of properties on this map:

If you are househunting outside Massachusetts, The Real Estate Cafe would be glad to refer you to an exclusive buyer agent -- perhaps one contributing to this map -- and rebate one-third of our referral fee (where allowed by law). We'll donate the other third to help save lives or provide shelter subsidies for AIDS orphans. Did you know there are more than 15 million AIDS orphans worldwide?

Our goal is to protect potential homebuyers, particularly those contemplating risky loans in overvalued housing markets, from making costly mistakes. If you were harmed by a previous real estate price correction: (1) what advice would you give to someone buying a home now, and (2) what should they know about the current housing market? If price corrections are already underway locally, post your comments or locations of properties on this map:
http://www.platial.com/realestatecafe/map/7060

If you are househunting outside Massachusetts, The Real Estate Cafe would be glad to refer you to an exclusive buyer agent -- perhaps one contributing to this map -- and rebate one-third of our referral fee (where allowed by law). We'll donate the other third to help save lives or provide shelter subsidies for AIDS orphans. Did you know there are more than 15 million AIDS orphans worldwide?

If you are househunting outside Massachusetts, The Real Estate Cafe would be glad to refer you to an exclusive buyer agent -- perhaps one contributing to this map -- and rebate one-third of our referral fee (where allowed by law). We'll donate the other third to help save lives or provide shelter subsidies for AIDS orphans. Did you know there are more than 15 million AIDS orphans worldwide?

If you owned property in Edison (or another city) during this price correction or another downcycle, please post comments below. Better yet, ADD the location of your former property to this map and tell your story so others can learn from your experience.  Here's a podcast of lessons learned from riding two real estate cycles:

Our goal is to protect potential homebuyers, particularly those contemplating risky loans in overvalued housing markets, from making costly mistakes. If you were harmed by a previous real estate price correction: (1) what advice would you give to someone buying a home now, and (2) what should they know about the current housing market? If price corrections are already underway locally, post your comments or locations of properties on this map:
