The forecast "ranked the housing markets top 200 core-based statistical areas based on home sales, home listings, prices, inventory, days on market, sold-to-list price ratio, and foreclosures and REOs."
Some specifics produced by the forecast: "Currently, Cleveland homes remain 30 percent below their pre-crisis highs, although 'we are seeing Cleveland home prices on the rise as their relatively new knowledge-based economy takes hold,' said Tom O'Grady, CEO of Pro Teck Valuation Services."
