House Price Futures Hedging

Very short description for use in the program to help attendees understand more than a title can describe

We will examine the transaction data from Clark County, NV, specifically looking at repeat sales for homes from the start of CME futures trading in May, 2006 until mid-2013. We can then compare price changes on individual houses to changes in futures price to measure the individual homeowner's ability to effectively hedge using derivatives.
