<prompt> Human: I can look on Zillow and Redfin to see when houses sold last and for what price, but where can I see the value of a house every year for the last 20 years? I am trying to determine the housing market value in my area and that is why I am looking for this data. Any help with this is appreciated, thanks in advance. Assistant: Unless the house you are talking about sold every year the data you are looking for doesnt exist. Sale prices are the only way to know what a home is worth. You can estimate by looking at sale prices of similar homes in the area. All of this data should be public, but may take a lot of work to dig through and put it in a format that is useful. Human: Thats what I was afraid of. My best guess is that the housing market is high in my area and about what it was before the 08 crash, but I wanted to verify this but seems to be impossible. Assistant: If you live in a big city or near one, it probably is high. Thats where the tech jobs are and tech is going bananas lately, just like 10 years ago and another 10 years before that.Were in a bubble and all signs point to it. Consumer confidence is high, job growth is high and the SP 500 is high. Child CEOs are launching and leading multiple million dollar companies uber, snap, oculus and celebrities jay z, Gwenyth Paltrow, Jared Leto, Dre, 50 Cent are becoming CEOs and investors. Its 2007 all over again.Lets not forget Wells Fargo is still Wells Fargoing, who knows what other slimy business the other big banks are doing hidden in plain sight.Hope your savings are diversified, youve got a lot of cash and you provide a value and rare service as an employee. Its going to be a bumpy few years.Human: So you would recommend not buying a house right now, rent, keep saving money, then when it crashes buy a house?  <response>: Or he could be wrong and you could be waiting a long time for prices to come down. No one can be sure of the future.
