Case Shiller Index Tracks Actual Prices of Home Sales

Following the top five markets is the Case-Shiller index. This is an important index to follow because it tracks actual the actual sales price of a property each time it sells. Its a real indication of whether a price for the same property has gone up or down year over year.

S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, the leading measure of U.S. home prices, shows continued broad based declines in the prices of existing single family homes across the United States, a trend that prevailed since 2007. Note; the top five markets in the Urban Land Institute survey, posted below are commercial markets. The Case Shiller index shows San Francisco off a whopping 29.5%, indicating that perhaps its weighted towards home rather than apartment or commercial property.
