According to CNN, 65 of the nation's 299 biggest real estate
markets are severely overpriced and subject to possible price
corrections.
The Augusta Georgia real estate market is NOT one of them.
The good news is the Augusta area comes in at -2%. That means
that homes in this area are selling at slightly less than the
'real' market value. While that is not good news for home
sellers, it does indicate that the market is not vulnerable to the
real estate bubble burst the mainstream media pundits like to rant
about. Anything but! The local market is slightly tilted to
buyers and investors.

in the US and how they are performing.
Are you curious where the most hyper-inflated real estate market is
right now? Well, it's Naples, Florida, at an amazing 84%
overinflation rate! Apparently home buyers there aren't
worried about hurricanes or ... well, anything!
