No economic analysis like JohnC does on real estate, but I pick up the "Home and Land" real estate catalogue of houses in the area for sale, and it appears to me that house prices are up over all.  And Russell Lands hasnn't stopped building $1M properties.  And I have been casually shopping for a 2nd home, and prices seem to be up.  Most of the beach condos in Alabama seem to be in the $600K plus market.  Just a few years ago, I couldn't picked one up for about $200K (wish I had...)
