MAP IT OUT: REAL ESTATE'S ROLLER COASTER

This interactive map shows home appreciation and depreciation by state and time. Can you time the market right by looking at past results to predict an appreciation rate over time on your home investment?.  The volatility of the market is shown in a majority of the States.  I am a Real Estate Agent in Montgomery County, MD  from 1999 to present.  I have seen Real Estate's Up's & Downs and to see it benefit greatly, then turn around and lose greatly.  Perhaps life is about balance and without it, no one would be able to afford to buy a home.  Prices would continue rising over and above what anyone could afford. We all do or should strive hard for balance ... straight lines in life may be stable but awfully boring and would never test our limits.   I am pleased to share this interactive chart so that my viewers have an opportunity to see this, comment and perhaps share their insights as well. 

Kudos & thank you  Brian Larrabee for pulling together this information, creating the map and sharing it with us all.  It is very cool.
