The Unraveling of the Suburban Fringe

The Unraveling of the Suburban Fringe: "Annual price changes in most of the largest metro areas, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia, followed a similar pattern: Values were most stable within a 10-mile radius of the center of the city, but generally worsened with each successive radius ring as far as 50 miles from the center of the city."

This article is an overheated analysis of the situation, but with gas prices and overbuilding on the fringe, there is more of a decline in value out there. Or actually out here, considering that I live 50 miles from Chicago.
