It depends how you view the forward outlook of the state. Historically, things start West and work East. By that measure, the east is a ways away from the values seen in places like California heading into parts of Canada. People get bogged down in what should be or what they think. Reality is as “inflated” as home prices are, limited supply met with unlimited demand means price will keep going just at a slightly lower rate than we’ve seen the last few years as market has to adjust to interest rates.

If you’re buying for long term or an investment, now is always the best time to buy real estate.
