Which is the Most Accurate Home Price Index?

Given that it provided the earliest warning of the property price meltdown, I find it difficult to buy your argument that the CS index is irrelevant. It may not be perfect but from from what I have observed is the most reliable index we as investors have. However, this fact seems to be ignored by those in the real estate business who have done their level best to try to discount it. You do not explain your criticism of the CS index nor do you provide an alternative. So what index do you think has done a better job?
