Keeping Track: Americans' net worth
Rising real estate values can't halt overall slide

csmonitor.com

Wealth can't be maintained by homes alone.

Despite a sustained surge in real estate values, the net worth of Americans declined in the second quarter, pulled down by falling stock prices.

A Federal Reserve report released last week indicated that between April and June, real estate values rose 2.1 percent to $14.4 trillion.

Household net worth, however, fell 3.4 percent – from $41.5 trillion to $40.1 trillion.

The quarter's 14.8 percent drop in stocks, the largest loss since the third quarter of last year, was the primary reason for this decline.
