Is this Freep Real Estate Section Illustration Heaven Sent?

New, 2 comments

We've mentioned before that the Freep Real Estate section has a proclivity to giveth the good news and then taketh away. On Tuesday they told us with glee that "home prices in metro Detroit rose 2.7% in August, making it one of the strongest summer selling markets in the country." So we were not surprised to read this today:

Even though average home prices in metro Detroit rose by 2.7% through August, prices are still at 1995 levels, according to data released Tuesday.
