Buy in carnegie I dont think the prices are cooling off in carnegie. My friend bought a apartment here short time ago and he is already getting an offer for a higher price to sell his apartment
Ok hopefully they wont At the end of the day it comes down to supply and demand. If the demand outstrips supply they can keep going. What usually happens though, is that when something overshoots it can quickly come back. So if you're going to buy a property anywhere you should be buying to keep for the long term.
