Wall Street Journal Online
Passing through the Fort Myers, Fla., airport a few weeks ago, I noticed people eagerly signing up for a free bus tour of foreclosed real estate—with all properties offering water views.

August 17, 2009 - What's Vail Valley property worth these days?
Vail Daily - Scott Miller
VAIL VALLEY, Colorado — Just about everyone knows Vail Valley property values have dropped in the last year. But by how much?
