Or not, depending on your point of view. And note that all these stories were based on the same survey, the latest Case-Shiller index, released on Tuesday:
• "Dallas is arguably the weakest market of our big markets in Texas," said Dallas’ Only Daily Newspaper, quoting a Texas A&M expert. Later in the story, proving that The News never met a story it couldn’t surround, it reported that: "The Dallas-Fort Worth area’s housing market is the least likely of any in the country to see price decreases over the next two years."
• A Reuters’ columnist wrote: "Shiller, the originator of the Case-Shiller index of U.S. house prices, said house prices could fall by as much or more than they did in the 1930s, when an extended fall took them down by 25 percent in nominal terms."
