The map shows that some of those significantly overvalued markets include Boise, Idaho, which is overvalued by 71.7 percent, and Flagstaff, Arizona, which is overvalued by 60.6 percent. While being overvalued doesn’t necessarily indicate that a market’s home prices will fall, significantly overvalued markets historically have a higher risk for seeing price declines, which Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi said was the case now, Fortune reported....
