Let’s have a look at the latest data from the Case-Shiller Home Price Index<\/a>. According to March data that was released this morning, Seattle-area home prices were:<\/p>\n

Up<\/strong> 2.6 percent February to March
\nUp<\/strong> 12.3 percent year-over-year.
\nUp<\/strong> 12.7 percent from the July 2007 peak<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Over the same period last year prices were up 2.4 percent month-over-month and year-over-year prices were up 10.9 percent.<\/p>\n

Seattle home prices as measured by Case-Shiller shot up yet again to a new all-time high in March, and let the nation in month-over-month and year-over-year price gains for the second month in a row.<\/p>\n

The near hockey-stick shape of some of these home price charts is starting to concern me.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Tableau Public<\/a> interactive graph of the year-over-year change for all twenty Case-Shiller-tracked cities. Check and un-check the boxes on the right to modify which cities are showing:<\/p>\n
