Ryan-First, your data is completely inaccurate. According to OFHEO, St. Louis is up 1.6% now down.
MLS data shows flat to 1% appreciation.
CNN/MONEY recently listed St. Louis as the #3 are to buy. 80% affordability rating.
Looks like your data is flawed and probably applies to some market where prices ran up 20-30% - Unlike the steady 4-5% in St. Louis.
