The people who really have to worry are ones who bought condos in the boondocks (where there's definitely no metro)...if you're far out and you don't have a lot of land, space and close by amenities, there's not much incentive for someone to swoop in and buy your crib. right, i think that’s true to an extent, but I think everyone has taken at least a small hit. -5% isn’t much, but it’s not +13%.

Charlotte with see a "market correction" in a few years, it's just behind the curve because people are still jumping ship to the area. I think the trend in DC is certainly worth watching but I don't consider it alarm. Anyone who bought in '06 and didn't expect their house to decrease in value, even for a couple years, was drinkin' the kool aid. Yay charts!
