The OFHEO press release said Housing Price Appreciation Slows From Record-Setting Pace, But Remains Strong [pdf]
Key Stats:
12.02% Annualized Appreciation Nationwide
2.86% Appreciation From Prior Quarter
Price Momentum In the Pacific and Northeast has pulled back
The coasts are seeing the greatest rates of appreciation because there is less excess land, and therefore more price volatility.
