Arkansas and 32 Other States Homes Prices Increased

I saw a report in Inman News that First American Loan Proformance released it's Home Price Profromance Index for the 12 months since September 2006. The index shows that Arkansas along with 32 others states had markets where home values were still increasing. There were only 17 states that had home values that decreased. So in about 2/3's of the US markets are good enough for values to increase. Why in most media reports does it sound like the whole country is in a bad market. Hopefully these reports will be on the front pages of papers and on the nightly news but probably not. It is up to us to spread the words that the sky is not falling every where.
