Robson- I’m only interested in the Case/Schiller HPI and according to that we’ve lost well over $100K. 😉

Agreed that the CS is better to follow, I keep an eye on Dataquick median simply because that’s what the public sees in the paper.
As far as the CS fall, it depends how you choose to convert the index # to $. I do it by setting the January 1988 ratio as “normal” but this is subjective. According to that technique, we had last $100,000 as of December. I’m sure the Feb CS #’s will show a bit larger, more accurate fall.
