Kevin, does your comparison of rents to prices assume that the media home is the same, whether rented or purchased? In my market, the median rent is for a "inferior" home than is used to calculate median price.

Yes. I should be more clear about that in my posts. I use the Zillow estimate of rental values for all homes. Changes over time in rents of rented homes versus owned homes tend to follow similar trends locally.
