Real Estate Roller-coaster

Robert Shiller, a Yale University economist, has taken the time and trouble to index American home purchase prices going all the back to 1890.

Enter Richard Hodge, a blogger at www.speculativebubble.com.

Richard plotted Shiller's inflation-adjusted index into Atari's Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, a game where users create, then ride, their own roller-coaster.

Enjoy the ride!
