Our good friend at JPMorganChase, Brian Cavanaugh, just emailed us an article from CNNMoney.com which was about how home prices have plummeted to a new record.  It stated that national prices feel 15.4% in the past 12 months according to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller national home price index report!

We thought to ourselves, wow…this is not good news!  But then I did a little more reading and found that there were a couple of exceptions, Boston being one of them. It went on to say “Denver and Boston were winners for the month, with home prices climbing 1.5% and 1.2% respectively.  Both of these markets have had three consecutive moths of higher prices.  Charlotte and Dallas, both up 1%, have recorded four straight months of gains.”

Even with some of the worst hit neighborhoods such as Dorchester and Roxbury lumped into the Boston total we still reported a gain over the past 3 months.  That’s amazing in a market where oil is sky high, the stock market has gone down the tubes, and gas prices are higher than they have ever been!
