PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. conducts quarterly analysis of the top MSA's in the U.S. to predict the likelihood of home prices delining. When you compare the fall '05 report to the summer '05 report, Seattle's market has some overvaluation. But relative to other markets, it's fairly neglible. On their index, Seattle rates an 84, 16th lowest when compared to Pittsburgh, PA at a 54. Conversely, the highest rating is Boston-Quincy, MA at 551. "For example, a score of 100 indicates a 10% chance of a decline in home prices over the next two years. A higher score indicates a higher likelihood of future home price declines." It's kind of complicated to distill all this information down to a paragraph so check out the full article by searching for: pmi press release October 18, 2005. Click on the link "What's New at PMI" and then scroll down to the October 18th release. Also, if you can't find it, I can send you a link.
