Mapping the US Housing Bubble: 2000-2010

Unlike prices in the stock market (which are the same no matter where you you live) your experience of the housing bubble was determined by your location in the years 2000-2010. These maps (which I created with Matthew Mulbrandon) give a quick and easy glance at the change in housing prices focusing on the bubble in the United States. They show the Housing Price Index (not inflation adjusted) by state. As you have probably seen in the news, the housing bubble was largest in the West and the South East, in states such as California, Arizona, and Nevada and Florida. Those states had the largest increase from 2000-2006 (height of the bubble) and the largest decreases from 2006-2010. However, from 2000 to 2010 one can see all states (except Michigan) had more moderate price increases. You can learn more about the housing market at DesignandGeography.com

Ms. C, that is stunning. And, accurate.For the last three or more years we have been reminding Bill@CR, Daniel@Atlantic and too (their word) many others that what happened in the sand state – Cal, Nev, Az, and Fla ; during the dead years – 2003 to 2007 ; by the RE mortgage originations by Countrywide, WAMU, Wichovia and New Century; that were very bad ARMs and subprime RE loans; that were sold as “securitized” – was that not a joke – loan packages; was TOTALLY different from what was being done to the rest of U.S.This map shows U.S. in graphic detail – oh, we know, that was uncalled for – not only when it happened, but also where it happened. Love it.

Why does the 2000-2010 map, with the exception of the Great Lakes states (too cold) and Louisiana (too hot/humid) resemble a presidential election map?

May I ask where you got your data for HPI per state? The only data I’ve found on Federal Housing Finance agency is the HPI for the whole country only
