LS there is not an argument that prices are down. However it appears to me your posts would be constructive if you presented them in a different manner. For instance instead of presenting a new post every time you find a new piece of data that bolsters your point of view, why not do something more akin to what JG has done. His data is presented in a comprehensive manner with alot of history to it that shows clear trends. (Note his data is embedded in sdr’s short sale thread but it is REALLY well organized and presented nicely)
Why not gather the monthly medians for all the high end zips for the past several years and plot them. Distinguish between SFR and attached homes. Things like that. Compare them to a few middle income or lower income zips.
Maybe keep it all in one post and update it regularly.
This may be a more constructive way of displaying what is going on. Statistical blips can be identified and dismissed. I think that will display your arguments in a much more organized manner then the current way you do things.
