Great post! I would also recommend following the IAS360 House Price Index (www.iasreo.com/ias360....). It’s the only timely and granular index to go down to the county level making it the leading industry index.

Week in Review: Correlated Divergence Leads to Big Bounce

While house price indexes have reported a downward trend in most MSA's, a new house price index, IAS360 (iasreo.com/ias360updat...), I've been following has been reporting small gains at the neighborhood and county level. So far this is the only house price index I've seen analyze at the neighborhood level.

Which is the Most Accurate Home Price Index?

Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12 at 8am EST the IAS360 House Price Index for March 2009 will be released.

Due to the index’s ability to report on house prices across the country in a timely and granular method, it is widely considered to be the best index to watch for signs of a recovery.

The IAS360™ House Price Index is the timeliest and most granular house price index in the industry, tracking median sales price trends of detached single-family residences. Based upon arms-length transactions, IAS360 tracks 15,000 “neighborhoods” nationwide that roll-up to report median price changes in 360 counties, nine census divisions, four regions, and the nation overall. The IAS360 House Price Index is delivered on the second Tuesday of each month.

The report can be found at www.iasreo.com/ias360_...

Home Prices and Job Creation This Decade

It's amazing the correlation between housing and the job market.

Recently, I’ve noticed that there is a new house price index that comes out before Case-Shiller’s and reports on a national and county level. This new index, IAS360 HPI was created by Integrated Asset Services who deal with default management and residential collateral valuation. It’s interesting to see in their data for August, that house prices are continuing to see declines in all three regions except for the Northeast… I’m convinced that this is truly the index to keep your eyes on if you’re trying to get a glimpse of recovery…Has anyone else been following this?
