Don't overlook the fact that much of the northeast suffers from strict land-use policies that prevent as many new homes being built here as elsewhere. I doubt that existing home prices, or sales of existing homes resemble the above picture. And also don't forget that this is not a cerebis paribus picture ... what would new home sales have looked like in the northeast absent the boom?

I'm shocked by the fact that the Northeast didn't experience the housing boom like other areas of the country. Thankfully, that also means that we aren't experiencing the same bust. Apparently, we learned our lesson in the mid 80's.
