Nationally there are some strong indications of housing inflation occuring. The median new US home price is up about 40% over the peak of the 2005-2006 real estate bubble, and it's up roughly 100% since 2000-2001:

Raw numbers are meaningless outside of context.

The Case-Schiller index the GP was referencing takes CPI inflation into account.
