I chalk it up to three things: i) the trend of people living and working in our downtown neighborhoods is very new and most appraisers do not live down here, so they haven't gotten informed of what is driving the trends; ii) there are not a lot of comps yet; and iii) There are still good parts of neighborhoods and bad parts, and parts that just haven't caught up yet but will within a year or two: Washington park has plenty of $330K condos surrounding it, but the same condo 5 blocks away lists for $190K.
