Tampa Housing Market and US Housing Market

[Account Closed]

I'm looking to purchase my first home here in the spring.  I'm primarily looking at multis in the Tampa/St. Pete area.  I've been spending what seems like every waking minute researching the market, US market, home trends in the area, and properties.  But I'd like to get your opinion on the market here and the overall market as a whole.  Do you think these prices are sustainable, going to continue to rise/drop, and does anyone foresee a bubble that, if burst, could ripple into our backyard?
