 Seattle Strong Home Sales!
|
|
The housing slowdown isn't being felt in some of the most desirable areas of the country.
For instance, in Ross, Calif., about 18 miles north of San Francisco, real estate practitioner Tracy McLaughlin says, "It's supply constrained."
Other metropolitan areas that continued to post gains in home prices nearly every month are Seattle, Portland, Ore., and Charlotte, N.C. In Charlotte, home price growth has averaged a steady 7 percent over the last five years.
