Post staffers Ted Mellnik, Darla Cameron, Denise Lu, Emily Badger and Kat Downs used data from Black Knight Financial Services to compare home prices from 2004, just as real estate prices started to skyrocket, to 2015.
The data does not account for inflation but does correct for foreclosures and distressed sales to better reflect home values, the Post said.
In Brooklyn, New York, for example, home prices have increased by 146 percent since 2004. But in Decatur, Georgia, a suburb outside of Atlanta, prices are down 25 percent.
