July 27, 2009Before the housing crash extended beyond foreclosure-ridden exurbs, the average homeowner used to (foolishly) believe that his neighborhood was immune. Today, even underwater homeowners merely take heart in knowing that other neighborhoods in the same city are worse off.
If you live in the leafy, mansion-filled Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, where sales prices have declined 31% at the median to $1.5 million, you're probably comforted by the fact that you don't live in Glassell Park in East L.A. In that part of town, buyers counting on neighborhood improvement when they bought in the fringe area have seen median sale prices plummet 50% to $225,000 in the last year.
It's the same story to the south, in San Diego. Sales prices are down 25% in University Heights, but homeowners there can say, "Better here than Horton Plaza." In that downtown, marina neighborhood, median sale prices are off year-over-year by 56%, to $612,500.
Behind the numbers
Forbes looked at the 25 largest cities in America to determine which neighborhoods witnessed the biggest year-over-year price drops, according to data from Trulia.com, an online real-estate marketplace and data firm. A neighborhood had to be within the city limits, have at least 10 sales, and prices had to be above $150,000. Otherwise, our list would be a rundown of markets barely on life support, such as Briggs, Detroit, where prices over the last year are off 96% to a median price of $2,500.
