real estate cycle per location

[Dillyn Davidson Saurdiff]

I know this is a loaded question, but does anyone have any estimates or good resources to look up what part of the real estate cycle my area is in. We all know we are at the high end of the cycle as a country. However, I am learning more and more about the cycles in specific areas of the country. The BP podcast talks about sources for researching this, but I cant remember what they are. Does anyone have good suggests to research where my area may be in the real estate cycles.
Or does anyone have any thought on my areas them self....
I am in  Clatsop County specifically Seaside, OR looking at properties in Warrenton, Seaside, or Astoria. I am also interested in the Hillsborough, Beaverton, Portland area. 
Other than cycles....
I would love to hear any reasons people may be expecting an increase or drop in value in any of these areas.
I'm sure other forums discuss this, but I'm starting another one :)
