But if we look at what was normal appreciation from 1987 to 1999… 3.6% per year… and apply that normal appreciation to 2000 and beyond it doesn't look so scary. This chart shows that had we had normal appreciation instead of the bubble and crash, prices would be even higher than where they are now.
