I agree, home prices in Johnson city due seem to be going up, but on the other hand land prices seem to finally be coming down. Mixed blessing depends if you are buying or selling.

I went to the WA county planning dept on friday, they said that there are very few spec homes being built this year, mainly homes being built for a specific home owner. With all of the home builders being slow and land prices falling, it may actually be better to build than buy existing.

Overall, it's nice to see our area holding up so well.
