Thanks!
Here's the graph that I wanted to post earlier. It shows BOS prices rising into late 2015, though with more seasonality than some of the warmer regions. Current spot index is already ~7.1% above Dec '12 levels. CME bids for Nov '15 contract are ~18% above Dec '12 so traders are willing to bet on another 10% rise in BOS index level by then.

House prices don't go up without low interest rates- look at a chart of Mortgage rates when ever there is a big move down everybody decides to buy. what happens when interest rates can't go lower???

I don't see where this great thread has been updated recently. Please feel free to check out a graph of futures prices for the BOS Case Shiller index (and 9 other regions) at http://homepricefutures.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Mar-graphs.bmp

I'm the market maker on the CME Case Shiller futures. Feel free to contact me here, or at johnhdolan@homepricefutures.com if you like a) answers to any questions regarding the futures, and/or b) to discuss any trades that you'd either like to put on or have touted.

hyperinflation will justify your chart.

Hey Boston- You're now the one of ten regions with futures traded on the CME without any open interest. (Last OI expired with maturity of Nov '14 contract). I'm John H Dolan, the market maker in these contracts. I've posted a 182.0/183.0 market for Nov '15 to try and get something started. (BTW 182 is 3.1% above spot levels for one-year forward -so no seasonal factors).
Open to trading outright contracts, calendar spreads (e.g. Nov '15 vs. Nov '16) or intercity spreads (e.g. BOS Nov '15 vs. NYM Nov '15).
Contact me at johnhdolan@homepricefutures.com or just post your quotes. Let's get Boston back in the game!
