Here is some interesting info from PMI. They are attampting to predict what chances homes prices have of going down in markets across the US.

While we in the mortgage biz live in....ahem....interesting times....remember that there are pockets of positive valuations and price increases in some areas.

If you want more info on these areas, shoot me an email.....Now on to PMI's info.

Home prices in some of the nation's largest markets are poised for a fall, according to a study that says homes are overvalued in many cities.

The PMI U.S. Market Risk Index report, released yesterday, named Boston, San Diego, Long Island, N.Y., Santa Ana, Calif., and Oakland, Calif., as the markets facing the biggest risk of a price correction. The index showed these markets have a more than 50% chance of experiencing price declines during the next two years. New York City ranked 14th, with a 33% chance . . .

The markets facing the biggest potential correction are Los Angeles, Sacramento and Riverside, Calif., where prices are estimated to be overvalued by 33.7%, 31.3% and 30.7% respectively, the report said. New York City's prices are 16.3% overvalued, according to PMI.

Here's the methodology behind their calculations:

PMI calculated its Risk Index by tracking and comparing home-price appreciation, labor markets, employment levels, affordability and the percentage of monthly income that a mortgage takes up in each market. The Risk Index estimates the chances of a price correction of any size in the next two years.  

The Valuation Index, which the firm just introduced, is based on home-price appreciation, the cost of a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage and the public demand for housing in each market. This index offers a snapshot of how much a home is overpriced or undervalued in each market at this moment.
