The Multiple Values of a Home are more than the market value. Consider the happiness, recreational, educational, relationship, neighborhood, memory building, serenity values, and more, when considering what your home may be worth.
When we look at 1997 thru 2015 Historical Home Prices in the Greater New Haven – Milford area we see a house purchased in 1Q1997 for $200.000 has appreciated 80% tobe worth $382,507 at the end of 4Q2018. Imagine if you paid rent for the last twenty years, would would have a security deposit while you may have paid off your mortgage early by adding two extra principle only payments per year.
An average $200,000 single family homes purchased in 1Q2010 is was valued around $250000 in 2Q2020 , when we look at the FHFA HPI Calculator
I have identified a channel of price stability since March 2012 in our New Haven Milford Metro, and seen new Connecticut foreclosure activity decline in 2014. This Value Shelf has been maintained through 2Q2016, continuing into 2019 as CT residential real estate has not significantly changed in value since 2012, despite increased transactions since 4Q2015.

Demand Pockets have developed in specific local markets, fueled by (a) historic low 30 year mortgage rates, (b) increasing rental costs, (c) pent up quality of life demand from the Great Recession, (d) increasing awareness of the long term values of leveraged investing, (e) increasing consumer confidence and, (f) a developing Real Property Value Shelf. This Value Shelf was established and validated in Connecticut with two and a half years of transactions of displaying comparable market value since 2012.
“Demand Pocket” (Copyright 3.7.2015 David Carr) is a geographical niche in real property values, appreciation, perceived development value, or preservation value.
“Value Shelf” (Copyright 3.7.2015 David Carr) is a period of time where an inventory and supply of comparably valued real property is established; i.e. Connecticut 1991-1997; i.e. Connecticut 2Q2012 thru 1Q2016. A Value Shelf is different from a bottom, or low, as a Value Shelf is sustained and developed over time.
Another credible, yet now historic data source, the January 2015 Core Logic House Price Index, confirms the development of the Value Shelf. When we exclude foreclosed and short sales, we see a one year CT-CLHPI value increase of 0.2% statewide. The increase, although small, has strengthened over the past three months, recovering from a 90 day decline of 0.7%, and closing January with a respectable 1.4% increase. Values are not as strong when we include distressed properties on our data set We then observe a -1.9% decline for 2014, leaving Connecticut 24.8% below July 2006 peak values.
David Carr’s FHFA and CLHPI Connecticut House Price Observations are based on principles of support, resistance and channel recognition of value. Many factors affect real estate value, including, but not limited to employment, community stability, quality of life, proximity to goods and services, educational resources, recreational resources, money supply, credit, perception of future value, owner demand, owner financial resources, seller motivation, inventory and lender equity valuation.
