"[The] Housing Cycle Barometer [index] shows that 17 metropolitan areas are currently overpriced, while 24 areas are not. Home prices have appreciated to levels that cannot be sustained in the San Francisco Bay area, San Diego and Denver, to name a few. Conditions are drastically different in Las Vegas, Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif., and Dallas, where historically low mortgage rates have more than offset price increases to create some of the best home buying conditions in the past 21 years. Homes are fairly priced in Los Angeles, Sacramento, Calif., and Phoenix."
