| | South Florida’s real estate crisis in one chartTopic: Real Estate newsSouth Florida’s housing crash may be old news, but recent data offer some valuable perspective.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency maintains appreciation indices for metropolitan areas, which are similar to the famous Case-Shiller index but more local. By stacking up Broward and Miami-Dade’s indices to the nation’s, the warning signs are hard to miss.
The chart anchors all three indices to the first quarter of 2000, so the numbers show appreciation since then. Real estate got out of hand across the country, with appreciation peaking nationally at 166 percent in 2007. But in Broward, values soared 272 percent. Miami-Dade did even better, up 283 percent.
It’s easy to see how quickly values collapsed, but the chart also points out something that tends to be overlooked amid the wreckage of real estate. Home values are still ahead of where they were in 2003.
But perhaps more surprising, local property has actually held its value better than the average home in the United States. According to the FHFA, the average U.S. home is worth about 40 percent more than it was at the start of 2000. In Broward, the average home is worth 49 percent more. In Miami-Dade, it’s 56 percent more valuable.
A sign of resiliency, or a hint that South Florida still has some dropping to do? We’ll probably find out this year.

ShaneMy developer is tyinrg to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
LetemichaelThanks for your handy post. Over time, I have come to be able to understand that the sopmtyms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by your build up associated fluid between lining on the lung and the chest cavity. The illness may start within the chest location and multiply to other body parts. Other sopmtyms of pleural mesothelioma cancer include weight reduction, severe respiration trouble, vomiting, difficulty ingesting, and inflammation of the face and neck areas. It should be noted that some people having the disease tend not to experience any kind of serious signs or sopmtyms at all.
