Submitted by Reggie Middleton on 02/08/2011 12:22 -0500The overly optimistic Case Shiller index shows NYC as being the only major condo market to actually show an increases in prices. Anyone who lives here knows that it is damn sure not for a dearth of supply! Why are prices going up amid a glut of supply?

Except for a few metric blips borne from .gov bubble blowing, the housing market has been on a continuous nosedive since 2nd half of 2006.
