• Description/Excerpt: An increasing swath of the Baltimore region is caught up in a housing slump that is getting worse and appears to have further to fall. Average home-sale prices in the first six months of the year fell in a little more than half of Baltimore's suburban communities and a third of city neighborhoods, while sales volume in the region was the lowest for the first half of a year since 2000, a Sun analysis found. The number of areas with declining prices has swelled since 2006, the first full year of the housing market downturn. Many of the losses were fairly modest, but some areas were significantly affected.
