By: Drew Meyers Community Relations Specialist | June 19, 2008

So, I thought I’d dig into the data of our Q1 Home Value Reports to find which real estate markets suffered the biggest percentage [...]

By: Tommy Unger Data Analyst | June 10, 2008

With high gas prices and a housing market still trying to break out of these doldrums, people are trying to save money wherever they can. One technique for achieving financial freedom is keeping a monthly budget and watching your income and spending closely. The first big check that homeowners will write will be the mortgage [...]

Recently, I wrote a blog post about areas in the U.S. where 2008 Q1 home values actually appreciated from 2007’s Q1 home values. This, unfortunately, is the counter post and it ain’t pretty.
Guess which area was the biggest loser? If you guessed California, you’re right. But, if you nailed it with a guess of Merced, [...]

It’s hard to believe that in our depressed economy and flattened real estate market that in some areas of the U.S., home values actually appreciated year-over-year. It’s true — there was a real estate Santa Claus for some of us this past quarter.
In our Q1 Home Value Report, we did an analysis of 160 metropolitan [...]

As you saw from Stan’s earlier post, home values continued to slide downward in the first quarter, falling more significantly than any quarter we’ve ever reported – down nearly 8% from a year ago.
