  • How Much More Will Housing Prices Decline? [View article]
    LATEST REPORT SHOWS U.S. HOUSE PRICES FELL 13.8% IN 2008

    ntegrated Asset Services, LLC (IAS) (iasreo.com), a leader in default management and residential collateral valuation, released its IAS360™ House Price Index for December on Tuesday, Feb.10. The IAS360 is released a full three weeks before Case Shiller's. Based on the timeliest and most granular data available in the industry, the index showed a 13.8% decline in house prices for the full year 2008 and an overall decline of 19.1% since the market’s peak at the end of 2006. This after December 2008 posted continued declines of 1.1%.

    The IAS report also identified 10 of the counties hit hardest during the national decline. Not surprisingly, most were in states that experienced the largest gains during the housing bubble, California and Florida in particular. California fared the worst with three of the nation’s hardest hit counties: San Joaquin County, down 51% from its high, Monterey County, down 49%, and Kern County, down 45%.

    “We’re seeing house prices returning to pre-bubble levels and there are no signs of leveling off just yet,” said Dave McCarthy, President and CEO of Integrated Asset Services. “But location is still everything, and in this turbulent market the ability of the IAS360 House Price Index to gauge movement at the neighborhood level will make it the most vital house price index to watch for signs of a recovery.”

  • Which is the Most Accurate Home Price Index? [View article]
    Case-Shiller’s home price index could be considered noteworthy given that you only want to look at a limited number of MSA’s or the entire nation, but for practicality’s sake, this data is fundamentally incomplete. Essentially, C-S is irrelevant.
