VisualEconomics has posted a new infographic talking about the recent housing bubble in the United States. It is fairly short and sweet as such graphics go. The top portion of the graphic is a circular bar chart showing the boom in housing that peaked in 2005, which lead to the Great Recession that started in December 2007. The bottom portion of the graphic shows the sales of new houses in the United States by Region: NorthEast, West, South, and Midwest.

The market of single-family homes has had its ups and downs in the past 46 years, and more recently has been through the most dramatic changes in its history.
