HUD reporting "staggering jumps" in housing prices and rent prices:

Tech Boom Fuels Rising Home Costs

By George Lardner Jr.
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, June 12, 2000; Page A01

The new high-tech global economy that is pumping up employment and home ownership in most U.S. cities is also creating "staggering jumps" in home prices and raising rents more than 1 1/2 times faster than the rate of inflation, according to a new study by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The report, a first-ever compilation of the leading high-tech markets in the country, shows that home prices went up more than twice as fast as inflation in the past three years. In the 10 top markets, the cost of buying a house since 1995 rose more than 18 percent in seven of the areas and more than 20 percent in three of them.
