The Top 10 Most Stable Housing Markets in America:

  1. Seattle, WA – 3.09% est. price increase from 2007–2008
  2. Pittsburgh, PA – 3.37%
  3. Columbus, OH – 3.49%
  4. Dallas, TX – 5.45%
  5. St. Louis, MO – 3.01%
  6. Cincinnati, OH – 2.65%
  7. Atlanta, Ga – 4.4%

  2. Seattle the most stable? That’s not saying much.

    My friends had to reduce their price by $100k (over 13% off) before they even got their first offer on their house.

    In my condo complex prices have gone down about 10% since Spring.

    Maybe they meant stably declining?

  3. you all can move out of los angeles i want la all to myself and all my new friends

  4. Real Estate Market nationwide is turning around & profit is coming back.
    I been in Real Estate since 1981 and seen 3 big slow downs, but they turn back around & millions make money again on the new ride back up. As what is starting right now, so tell your friends to get out & buy something that has an upside profit & enjoy the money.
    Your Welcome

  6. i’m somewhat surprised to see Seattle so close to the top of the list. in Canada, Vancouver has really been hit quite hard, and I might have expected their economies to be somewhat similar. very interesting
