The Economist put together this chart of housing prices in different countries, from 1980-2015. Boring, right? But click through anyway and play with the chart.

• Click on a country to add it to the chart.
• Hover over a line (or touch/drag if you are on iOS) to get precise values at any given moment in time.
• Drag the double-headed slider at the bottom of the chart to change the range of years covered.
• Be sure to look at the other tabs at the top of the chart (there are five, total).

To me, this is a fantastic way to present information. Not sure what tool they used to construct the chart. If you do, ping me on Twitter.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the responses. Looks like the post used Highcharts.
