Yes, it has topped out. It will never ever be more expensive than it is now. /sarcasm

It might go higher; you just have to time it to match with the next 3 point Federal Reserve rate cut. That was what created the current pricing fiction, and prices will probably stagnate or drop until the Fed give yet another boost, or until inflation weakens the currency even further.

I believe that the housing market is overheated but The Washington Post has a motive to slow it down.

Real estate advertising was almost an afterthought wnen the market was red hot - few listing were advertised in the newspaper.. with the market slowing down there are more classified listings thus more money for The Washington Post.
