My philosophy is to look at the cities and counties closest to the high-growth MSAs and provide a better housing product for those who cannot afford the core-city growth and pricing.To directly answer your question, I think the MSA indicates that when the market eventually does correct, you could interpret the data to show that the outer areas, not the cities, should encounter less negative headwinds, based on a comparison of pre-GR and post-GR trends.

I used to use an aggregate average of redfin, realtor.com, and Zillow. on average I would do all 3 and that would give me the closest. when I did my own comps I found redfin and realtor.com to be the two most accurate. if you want a better value I'd average those two. their algorithms give an average value.
