...first pass, the data suggest we've largely come back to earth. The average price-rent ratio for the 54 metro areas Economy.com broke out was 19.8 for the three months through September, a couple of points higher than the 15-year average of 17.7 but significantly lower than where the ratio stood three years ago, 24.4.
