A Big Bubble has Burst After Too Long a Period of Too Loose Money A History of Home Values 2 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 1 9 8 7 6 A History of Home Values The Yale economist Robert J. Shiller created an index of American housing prices going back to 189. It is based on sale prices of standard existing houses, not new construction, to track the value of housing as an investment over time. It presents housing values in consistent terms over 116 years, factoring out the effects of inflation. The 189 benchmark is 1 on the chart. If a standard house sold in 189 for $1, (inflation-adjusted to today s dollars), an equivalent standard house would have sold for $66, in 192 (66 on the index scale) and $199, in 26 (199 on the index scale, or 99 percent higher than 189) World War I Great World Depression War II Decline and run-up Prices dropped as mass production techniques appeared early in the 2 th century.
