Talk about being in the right place at the right time.
While speculators and flippers in places such as Boston and San Diego are running for cover, in other parts of the country they are basking in robust residential sales. Third-quarter median home prices last year climbed 14.6 percent in Seattle, Wash.; 14.3 percent in El Paso, Texas; and 12.3 percent in Portland, Ore.
They also increased by roughly 5 percent in Houston, Texas; Los Angeles, Calif.; Austin, Texas; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Charlotte, N.C., over the year before, according to the National Association of Realtors.
