Blogger Mark Kleiman, who lives in LA, did. What if you don't have a house in a bubble market? Well, now you can buy and sell derivative contracts based on median sales prices of existing single-family homes, as released each quarter by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Available markets include NYC, Chicago, SF, LA, SD and Miami.
