Zillow: Top 10 markets to buy and sell your home now
California takes over one list

Now that the pace of home price appreciation is finally starting to slow, it is easier to see the truth behind which local markets favor either buyers or sellers.
According to the latest Zillow (Z) home value index, prices increased to $175,600 in August, up 6.6% year-over-year, the slowest annual pace in the last 12 months.
And through August 2015, home values are expected to rise another 3.1%.
Real estate has always been local, but as we continue to put the housing recession further in the rearview mirror, the largely uniform performance of local markets is also fading, said Zillow Chief Economist Stan Humphries.

He could make quite a profit selling it, but then where does he live?

It sure is beautiful and your son could make a great profit but like you said, where would he live,
and those rents are quite high.
Nice meeting you Shrike47

There's a Las Vegas in NM, but I had no idea that there was one in California.
