Cool Interactive Map shows Top City Stats

I found this website's market data interesting and thought I would pass it along. Take a look and see what cities are doing around the country. Agents in these cities: is this map a good representation on what is happening in your market? Property values are falling overall in the United States, but the change is anything but evenly spread. This interactive map shows changes in house prices in 20 large markets in 2006-2007, and in recent months.

Interesting, as you can see it is it is not falling everywhere. I have a niece  that put her house on the market in Joliet, Il. and got an offer and sold it in THREE DAYS. She found one she liked a little closer to Chicago and it had 4 offers, including hers. These are in the $200.000 to $300.000 range. This has all been in the last month.

Christopher- I think it does come down to pricing in some areas. My husband's childhood home went up for sale last summer in Joliet way overpriced. It finally just sold a couple months ago after a huge price reduction. The closer you get to Chicago, the more expensive it gets. Affordable homes are in the Joliet/Plainfield area, at least for that part of the burbs.
