And, as prices begin to reach 2006 levels again, it “seems logical” that the next part of the ride would be downhill. However, this graph includes the anomaly of the price bubble and the correction (the housing crash).\r\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>What if the bubble & bust didn’t occur?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh4>\r\nLet’s assume that instead of the rise and fall in home prices that we saw last decade, we just had normal historic appreciation from 2000 to today. According to the 100+ experts that are surveyed for the \u003Cem>Home Price Expectation Survey\u003C\u002Fem>, normal annual appreciation for residential single family homes from 1987 to 1999 was 3.6%.\r\n\r\nStarting with the median home price in 2000, we added 3.6% to it each year since then.
