Haim,

I don't believe it is dead... it is lurking in some bureacrat's file, waiting to pop out and grab us when the time is ripe.

For Haim Branisteanu re: rising house prices
_____________
You posted the item below about rising median home prices. Note that when home price figures are used in this context, it does not mean house prices are inflating. It means that the homes being bought tend to be more expensive than the homes bought during the comparative timeframe. This usually indicates buyers are getting richer and buying fancier homes. It doesn't always mean the sellers are getting better prices than they used to.
___________
Used-home prices mostly rising

WASHINGTON (May 12, 1999 11:27 a.m. EDT nandotimes.com) - Prices of existing homes climbed in most metropolitan areas during the first three months of this year.

Nationally, the median resale price - meaning half of homes sold for more and half for less - was $131,600 during the January-March quarter, up 4.6 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

By comparison, inflation rose at a 1.7 percent annual rate during 1998 and has kept to an even lower 1.5 percent rate so far this year.

Haim,
Yes, I believe that we are in the very beginning "baby step" stages of a new slowly growing price inflation trend that will take many years to peak out. In the meantime, there will still be some deflationary scare periods, but the changing trend will surprise many. Yogi
