What’s in a Price?
A Comparison of National Home Price Series
Since all real estate is local, interpreting changes in home prices at the national or metropolitan level can be difficult. Not only that, but with so many housing price measures it can also be difficult to determine what the data each series presents is saying about the housing market. In order to break down the various series and detail their differences, the Research Division has compared the four major home price indexes that market participants follow. They are the National Association of REALTORS® Median Sales Price, the Case-Shiller Index group, and two Conventional Mortgage Home Price Indices: one by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) and one by Freddie Mac.

About Us
Barb & I became agents in 2004 with Coldwell Banker West Shell. In 2005 we partnered with Gary Rogers to provide high quality resale of foreclosed properties. We work with leading banks to get homes back in the hands of families after foreclosure. Mike’s back ground is Chemical Engineering and previous SUBWAY franchisee. Barb’s background is in facility management. We are the caretakers of two Birman cats.
Our goal is to help buyers purchase foreclosed properties, help homeowners facing foreclosure understand their options and provide high quality resale service to lenders to resell their foreclosed home inventory.
We also have a healthy client base of “regular” buyers and sellers that find our expertise valuable.
