Median Home Cost in Terms of Gold as Money
Today's chart
presents the median single-family home price divided by the price of one
ounce of gold. This results in the home / gold ratio or the cost of
the median single-family home in ounces of gold. For example, it
currently takes 144 ounces of gold to buy the median single-family home.
This is considerably less that the 601 ounces it took back in 2001.
When priced in gold, the median single-family home is down 76% from its
2001 peak (to a level last seen in January 1983) and remains well within
the confines of its six-year accelerated downtrend.
