A report from mortgage insurer PMI Group shows that home prices may fall in many of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. (including the DC area) through the beginning of 2011.
According to the report, thirty of the 50 largest areas have at least a 75 percent chance of lower home prices through March 2011. The firm says that this is largely due to the rise in unemployment and foreclosure filings that the country has experienced in recent months.
The Washington area (including DC, Northern Virginia, Maryland and parts of West Virginia) showed a 92 percent chance of lower prices. For comparison, Baltimore has a 90 percent chance of home prices dropping, and New York City showed an 88 percent chance.
Fifteen areas in the country have a 99 percent probability of lower prices in 2011 including: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Riverside, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Sacramento, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Providence and Detroit.
