Looking ahead to 2016....

This article says home prices are projected to hit pre-recession values by 2016. https://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2014/06/17/report-economic-recovery-not-slowing/

They may have edited it since you read it, but I don't find that anywhere in the story.

Bloomberg still has Las Vegas on their list of Top Twenty Riskiest Markets, . . . at number 16.

On the other hand, . . . here's the most stable markets:
1. Buffalo, NY
2. Pittsburgh, PA
3. Louisville-Jefferson County, KY
4. Nashville, TN
5. Raleigh, NC

Why them there locales are sorta encircling' Appalachia. DonDiego could pitcher hisself liven' in Raleigh or Pittsburgh.
