Anyway, I have been listening to BP podcasts for some time now along with investing way too much of my hard earned money into the various "Guru's" education and systems to the point I think my head will explode with all the confusion.

My townhouse in West Oakland exploded in value this year.

When I got back home I paid my brother back what I borrowed and my uncle exploded and yelled you always pay back what you borrowed win or lose, but when you win you give the guy that loaned you the money to win it at least 10% of your winnings, and it is bad luck if you don't . 

In the bay area, where we live now, San Francisco rents and prices exploded, which overflowed into an Oakland renaissance.

Thanks for keeping my head from exploding while I frantically research this matter. 

Most recently the Gowanus area has exploded after years of being bad rapped because of pollution concerns with the canal.

If you were buying in a small South Dakota city that has exploded due to oil then you should be concerned and quite frankly it's too late at this point to do anything about it.Ultimately if you bought to hold, then you shouldn't look to sell unless the long-term dynamics have changed (don't think they have from what you've described).  

The lighting industry has exploded with them. 

Some micro markets within the Pittsburgh region have exploded and some have flatlined.

For me, I'll wait and let the rest of you explode the landmines.
