The big housing boom that the nation experienced over the last five years, especially from the third quarter of 2001 through the third quarter of 2006, has not only perked the overall housing prices in the country, but also created a significant rise in the prices of America's richest Zip codes.
The Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index registered a five year increase of 63.7 % in home prices, for the nation in totality, according to Fiserv Lending Solutions, that supplies data and software to lenders. Meanwhile, the Zip codes that had a median sales price of $750,000 and more, showed an increase of 79.5 %.
