The bar chart stresses how the average house prices in five cities changed between 1990 and 2002. It is compared with the prices in 1989 and is divided into 1990-1995 and 1996-2002 average.
Among these five countries, it can be easily seen that London had experienced the biggest difference in house prices. The average between 1990 in 1995 was about 7% below the average in 1989, but it dramatically went up to 11% beyond between 1996 to 2002. New York had had similar situation, where the house prices were 5% less than those in 1989 while increased 10% in the period of 1996-2002.
The other three countries, however, appeared to have less obvious changes. Madrid and Frankfurt were both slightly higher than the prices in 1989 between 1990 and 1995. Madrid increased to nearly 5% over the average between 1996 and 2002 while Frankfurt decreased to only 2% beyond. Tokyo was the only city with average below that in 1989 in these twelve years. It was 5% off between 1996 to 2002, increased by 2% compared with 1990-1995 average.
