Las Vegas has joined The Real Estate Bloggers 50 Percent Club. That is my informal index of real estate markets that are down in the Case Shiller Report from July 2006, my nominal top of the market.

Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, San Diego, San Francisco, and Tampa are now down over 40 percent from July, 2006 property values. Charlotte is the only market place not down double digits, down only 6.8%.

The declines for the 20 city index are 19% year over year and 7.5% since the 4^th quarter. We have hopes that the anecdotal upturn in the market for this spring will affect this widely publicized index.
