I like this site a lot. Thanks. I see the site is mostly pointing to slowing real estate price growth at present and also the high bubble territory that many metros are in. But can I interpret the debt service as percent of disposable income and the savings graph to mean that home prices can remain at this level or keep going up?
Is there a way to reconcile Housing Units Per Capita being at an all time high and Home Owner Vacancy being at an all time low? That doesn’t make sense to me.
Thanks a good question! I’ve wondered the same thing. I’d first want to look into the vacancy number. Did they change how they measure it? Could it be that sense homes sell faster (partly because of the internet), that vacancy rate is lower? I don’t know.
John great data. I’d be curious if you could adjust some of these charts to be on a log scale on the y-axis, especially the ones that are on a nominal $ basis going back sometime. Without a log scale, the “J-curve” is often misleading in magnitude. Thanks for your work.
I do that myself sometimes to see how it looks but think it might confuse the typical person. Maybe I could add a link to the same chart with a log scale Y axis. Hmm. Thanks!
