HPI monitor real estate price appreciation/depreciation by analyzing neighborhood's sales and refinance data. While median or average sales price price does not tells entire story, this "suppose" to show average appreciation/depreciation data.
Here is the ranking of 1 year appreciation (or more like depreciation) by metropolitan area.
- Top ranking metros are ones without real estate bubble and with healthy economy. Out of metros with 1 million + population, it ranks usual suspect cities such as Austin, Houston, Raleigh and Charlotte.
- As for declining markets, the worst areas are made up with Central Valley in California, Florida and Nevada (Las Vegas). This is result of speculations and overbuilding beyond its real demand and residents' income. It should be also noted that, in these markets, real estate price is declining -5% to -16% QUARTERLY. This means bottom is yet to come.
- While it is hard to see from this ranking, out of 292 metros, 135 metros has shown 0%+ appreciations in quarterly basis. I think it is sign of market stabilization in these 135 metros.

As all the realtors say, real estate is location, location & location. This data clearly shows that some markets are very BAD and some markets are doing ok. I am particularly glad that Austin Tx, my main investment area, is doing "ok".
Happy Investing and contact me at oystersf@yahoo.com if you are interested in investing Austin Texas!!!!
