Accurately
projecting local prices is a challenging task because so many factors
play a part in home prices. Mortgage rates, inflation, job growth,
median income, legislation, migration patterns and market psychology
are just a few. Additionally, real estate markets rarely have periods
in which they achieve average historical growth. Rather, real estate
markets have periods of tremendous growth followed by market decline.
Consequently, the tables and charts below present three likely scenarios,
rather than one definite path.
