• The region’s overall population will increase by 11.9 percent, faster than the state’s 8.1 percent growth rate, from 3,167,200 in 2002 to 3,542,900 in 2012.
• The number of persons 45-64 years old will grow substantially while the 25-44 age group will decline due to the baby boom-to-baby bust effect.

Where is the bottom of the market?
“The effects (of foreclosures) are continued declining prices….probably another 5-8%* to the bottom. As for the
effect of foreclosure pricing, all of these problems are causing home prices to go lower than is necessary from an
affordability perspective.
That’s because everyone is now worrying about job security.
As a result, the recovery will take place at a faster pace once it gets started.”
– Jeff Otteau (otteau.com- January 2009)
