Very cool infographic, but the numbers are a little old. Home prices slipped quite a bit in the final three months of the year. NAR will release Q4 numbers on Thursday, Feb. 10. http://www.realtor.org/research/research/metropri... "People per homes sold" is an interesting yardstick. I guess that's a way to put sales activity in context and compare different markets? You probably would not want to use this to compare an urban area with more renters to a suburban area with a higher rate of home ownership.

@Jillian - the data is from NAR so we only have what they published. Sorry.

Can you add La Crosse, WI? This would be fun to share, but doesn't show our market. Thanks!

@Robert - thanks for pointing that out and you are correct. We were more loosely referring to the comparison of population to homes sold when labeling the tab. Based on the actual definition of Per Capita, you are correct. Per capita would be the number of homes sold divided by the population. What we included is the population divided by the number of homes sold. We are updating the tab label and view sources window to say ‘People Per Homes Sold.’ Sorry for the confusion.

Isn't the label "Homes Sold per Capita" really a misnomer? The data really appears to be the number of persons in the state for each home sold...
