American households lost $16 trillion in net worth during because of the housing and credit crisis of the late 2000s, according to CoreLogic.

Since that crisis, there's been a long and slow slog to recovery. Compared to the peak of the national housing market in 2006, US home prices are about 1% higher on average.

But many states still have home prices in the red compared to where they were at the top.
