Home values are unfortunately still on the decline from their June 2006 peak, according to an
article from Inman News. Values declined by 0.2 percent from the second quarter to the third quarter, and by 4.4 percent compared the 2010 third quarter. According to
Zillow, home values will most likely reach the bottom in 2012 after declining by another 3-5 percent.
