These magazines are always late to the prediction game. In 2005 and even in 06 they were predicting huge gains in the housing markets nationwide. Their call for 07 and for 08 was a slight correction, like down 5-10%. Now this obvious prediction of another 20%+ decline in overbuilt/overbought areas. Not exactly going out on a limb!
