Unless you live in Washington D.C. The bureaucrats have rigged the system to spare themselves from the pain.

All is not gloomy in U.S. housing prices. Detroit is bouncing!!

There is a separate, healthy housing market for the political elite class and another sickly market for everyone else. Priced in gold, (i.e. real money) housing prices in the U.S. are down 80% since 2005.

It’s not a pretty picture. Even Washington D.C. fell last month!

While the latest housing data shows a renewed downturn in housing prices around the country, one city is relatively immune. Washington D.C. is up 3.5% year over year. It also has the highest prices now of any of the 20 cities in the Case Shiller index, surpassing former leaders Los Angeles. and Miami.  Funny how the politicians who cause much of the problems always seem to manage to insulate themselves from the effects!

Gold buys about twice as much U.S. housing as it did 17 years ago!

As usual, I’ve put them into helpful chart and table format. I’ll let people draw their own conclusions. It’s worth noting that there’s a fair amount of lag in the data. They report with a two month lag, but each monthly number is a three-month moving average.
