The San Diego Case-Shiller Index for May is out.

I don’t know how much it matters, but they have two measurements – seasonally-adjusted, and non-seasonally adjusted.  Here are the recent troughs and peaks:

What does it mean? We had a price bump last year, and since then we’ve given back about half of the gain. From my perspective, pricing remains under pressure mostly from fraudulent short-sale listings, and when they hit a neighborhood, they hit hard. But other than those, we’re just bumping along.
