The National Association of Realtors® asked Belden Russonello & Stewart LLC to update research done in 2004 on Americans’ preferences regarding the communities in which they live.

Property values have dropped significantly in many areas, foreclosures are at record highs, and fluctuating gas prices have made long commutes more costly.
