Will smaller cities pick up steam?

[Amie D.]

More and more reports come out of the price increases, low supply and so on in the real estate market of large cities across the nation.

In your experience (or opinion), do the smaller cities outside of the larger metro areas tend to follow suit in time? Or does it just depend?

In the few I've looked at, price increases have started but not to the extent of the larger metros. Or could that be just because smaller markets don't tend to fluctuate as much to begin with?
