Most major news sources seem to only cover real estate news when something drastic happens so I'm looking more for daily market news.

@Adam Kuszczak most major metro cities will follow the same pattern...the "inner city" will be largely original housing stock...late 1800s to mid 1900's...developments typical radiate from the city center with age...so, 1950's through 1980's built properties are usually 3-5 miles from city center with the newest concentration of properties outside of interstate bypasses (usually forming a circle or partial circle around metro areas)...there is infill building and exceptions to these rules, but property age will be your #1 determining factor of where the properties you are targeting will be located.Building materials and methods of construction (along with codes) were very different from one decade to the next, but homes are surprisingly sturdy and most anything can be fixed.
