All it's going to do is cause more people to want to move to Atlanta when they realize they can live in a large metro(5M+) and still find houses that cheap.

Amazing no doubt but it's fueled by low interest mortagages. When interest rates rise, there's not sufficient income to sustain it. I predict this is a housing bubble that's going to pop within 5 years tops particularly in California but also to a lesser extent in other high housing cost metros.

Ok, but don't you think banks are being a little more vigilant about who they lend to? They days of zero downpayment and the like are long gone.

No data on Richmond. And no, this isn't the start of a 'what's in the South' discussion.
I believe that price range has a lot to do with so many people being under water on their homes. It's really sad actually. Their market was decimated by the crash.

Miami beat the odds and rebounded a whole lot quicker than anyone would imagine. Its also astounding that a lot of it is based on the strength of foreign purchases.

On CNN I saw developers were saying that developnents that were stuck at below 10% occupancy are running out of space now
