(See question 3)

Fifty-two percent of North Carolina real estate professionals believe that think home prices will decrease vs. 38% who so believed in the second quarter of 2010 and vs. 32% who so believed a year ago. Surveyed North Carolina homeowners were less pessimistic on the direction of home values with only 29% thinking that home prices would fall in the next six months and 50% thinking they would stay the same. (see question 6)
