Affluent Urban Markets Evading Subprime Slump

Subprime borrowers are rare in affluent markets because affordable homes are in short supply, says a recent Reuters article.

While home prices are falling in several sectors, properties in many desirable neighborhoods are still selling at astronomical levels, because housing stock is small while demand from affluent buyers is persistently high.

Even so, the article states that now, people are "buying for the long run."
