Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan:  investing residential where I can control and the appreciation curves is exactly like what I've forecasted.It's also easy to look at historical performance and say that something has performed exactly as predicted.

Housing IQ predicts a 9.3% increase in home prices over the next year, with the median sale price expected to rise from the current levels​​.Inventory and SupplyInventory levels have been gradually increasing but remain below demand, maintaining a seller's market.
