Well, not exactly.
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.

I have an ARM mortgage which is due to be renogiated in Aug 2007, I am concerned about the fluctuating values in the housing market – I live in Cheshire CT, and wonder if you think the market will hold.
