10 Riskiest Housing Markets, Fall 2006

The PMI Group is out with it’s quarterly report on the risks in the mortgage world and it is no surprise that California is leading the way with with the greatest risk of property value depreciating. They have a great interest in this as the PMI group represents the mortgage insurance industry and helps determine the rates that homeowners are charged for private mortgage insurance.

  1. San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, Calif., 60.3 percent
  2. Sacramento-Arden-Arcade-Roseville, Calif., 60.1 percent
  3. Oakland-Fremont-Hayward, Calif., 60 percent
  4. Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif., 59.9 percent
  5. Nassau-Suffolk, N.Y., 59.8 percent
  6. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., 59.6 percent
  7. Boston-Quincy, Mass., 59.6 percent
  8. Providence-New Bedford-Fall River, R.I.-Mass., 59 percent
  9. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., 59 percent
  10. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., 58.9 percent

The percentage is the probability determined by the PMI Institute that housing prices in that market sector will go down 10 percent or more in the next two years. So San Diego has a 60.3 percent chance of declines of 10 percent or greater according to the PMI Group.
