Case-Shiller Beats: Bankrupt Detroit Among Top 5 Fastest Appreciating Housing Markets

If yesterday’s collapse in September existing home sales was indicative that Housing is tumbling and it means the Fed will not taper until mid 2014 sending the S&P to a new record high, today’s August Case Shiller, which beat expectations of a M/M increase of 0.65% with a 0.93% print, and an increase of 12.82% Y/Y, probably means that the economy is very strong and will send the S&P to an even newer recorder high, since both bad and good news send only one signal to algos: buy. What is amusing is that while the NAR’s September fiasco was attributed to “concerns” over a government shutdown, the two month delayed Case Shiller print, which was for August, will be spun as no fears of a government shutdown in August, or something.

 

Listing the Top 5 cities in order of Y/Y price increase: Vegas +29.22%; San Francisco +25.4%; Los Angeles + 21.66; San Diego +21.5%; and….

Detroit +16.4%

That’s right: America’s biggest bankrupt city is among the Top 5 highest appreciating housing markets.
