5-10% percent annually until finally reaching late 2002, early 2003 prices. This will be for any area resale home. New homes purchased in 2002/2003 may have been contracted 3-12 months earlier and therefore may not reflect actual pricing on purchase date. That’s why new downtown condos were selling for a 20% profit after 3 months from original purchase date during 2004.
