I found a great article on Yahoo News today (College Towns:Still A Smart Investment) which goes with some of my other postings about how there are “mini-markets” of real estate that just don’t follow what the larger real estate markets may be doing. 

Those who live in Eugene (home of the University of Oregon) are well aware that the prices of housing near or around the campus have held up very well in comparison to other areas in Eugene, and demand remains strong for these properties as evidenced by days on the market in this area being the shortest on average.
