It is interesting to note that Economy.com forecast 10%+ decline toward 2010. Considering there so many home owners with negative equity and unemployment is still increasing, I tend to agree with their forecast toward 2010.
It is also interesting to note that:
- In former bubble areas such as Phoenix, Las Vegas and Florida cities, 30%+ home owners carry negative equity and economy is quite bad. Therefore home price will continue to decline toward 2012 but it will NOT rebound toward 2014.
- BUT in major job centers such as Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego and Boston, there are solid job market and high-income consumers. Therefore, Economy.com forecast 20-30% home price appreciation toward 2014.
Anyhow, I recommend that you treat this kind of data as "reference only" ince real estate markets depends on locations, school district, etc...
