Las Vegas has seen home prices rise 50% off their lows, they’re still 42% below the highs they made during the housing bubble of the mid-2000s. Below is a chart showing how far each city is from its bubble highs in price. After Las Vegas is Phoenix at 35% below, followed by Miami (-34%), Tampa (-32%) and Detroit (-23%). The two composite 10-city and 20-city indices are both roughly 17% below their all-time highs.
There are two cities that have already eclipsed their prior bubble highs — Denver and Dallas. Three other cities are within 10% of their highs — Boston, Charlotte and Portland. San Francisco is just outside of the 10% mark at -11%.
