Median Home Prices Mapped

by Jay - The Phoenix Real Estate Guy on October 31, 2008 · 10 comments

in Market Conditions

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) just published a nifty Google Map of real estate median home prices for major metro areas across the country.

On the map below you can click on a house icon to get the median home value for that metro area (you’ll likely need to zoom in and pan about — the United States is a big place). Also available are PDF and Excel files of all median home values.

 

To the NAR, I’m assuming it’s OK to embed this map since it’s classified as “public” and the embed code is readily available (if you know where to look). If not, I’m sure you’ll let me know…

Cool. Thanks for point this out to me! So, since it’s public, I can repost? Yes?

Yes, NAR created this map in order for Realtors to share it on their sites. Embed away!!

That’s really cool. I don’t know how people in places like San Francisco and New York are able to afford such high prices. Just seems like you’d have to direct so much of your income towards your mortgage and then barely have money for fun things.

Does anyone know if the second quarter plotted numbers are for total decline since the first of the year or is it an annualized value for just the second quarter? I would like to know so I can determine its accuracy for my market.

James asked:

Does anyone know if the second quarter plotted numbers are for total decline since the first of the year or is it an annualized value for just the second quarter?

I’m *almost* certain the numbers are changes compared to the same quarter last year. Due to seasonality issues, it doesn’t make sense to compare Q2 to Q1. Makes more sense to compare Q2 2008 to Q2 2007.

But I can’t say for certain that’s what NARs plotted here. I suspect the answer though is somewhere in the reports that are linked to.

Ok, first… great map. I’ll have to put this up on my blogs.

Second, Dubai Property just cracked me up.

Great site, I’ve always enjoyed reading up, and congrats on the Top 25 spot!

I’ll have to stand down from my previous comment. Looks like the price change IS from the previous quarter.

This is on the NAR’s map page (my emphasis:
