The Baltimore region's housing market in 2010

Bottom line on the Baltimore metro area's housing market last year: There is no bottom line. It really depends which part of it you're talking about.

Read about the variety in Sunday's story, assuming you haven't already.

Check out the maps showing the change in average price and sales in the region's ZIP codes. (There are two maps of city neighborhoods, too, but darned if I can find them online. I'll update with links if they're out there.)

Play with the searchable database of ZIP codes to see specifics. (Thanks to Patrick Maynard for handling the programming on that feature!)

Click here for an Excel chart with the city neighborhood data on one worksheet and the ZIP code data on another.

Have fun with photo galleries of the most expensive places and other housing-market extremes, put together by biz editor Liz Hacken.

Thoughts, suggestions? Comment away.

How did 2010 treat your neighborhood?

Deflation in hard assets and inflation in expendable assets like food, clothes, etc. People have figure out that fraud about rising home prices. The market will "only improve" when the people have a new psychology that hard assets produce money and wealth. That could be a while.

No article or commentary on today's Case Schiller Index report that showed a 4% decline year over year for the quarter? What about the announcement made by NAR's Chung that they have overstated home sales since 2007? Hmmm, interesting....

Jack, I'm on vacation this week. I'm trying not to leave you all hanging, but posts will be light. Feel free to leave your own commentary.
