The Mid-Cities Composite, which includes data from Albuquerque, Austin, Baltimore, Boise, Boulder, Charleston, Dover, Durham, Jacksonville, Honolulu, Memphis, Naples, Nashville, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Reno, Sacramento, St. Louis, San Antonio, and Ventura County, CA, found that the same general trend in prices and inventory occur between the Mid-Cities market and the major markets, but the Mid-Cities have shown less volatility over the past three years.

The chart below shows the difference in year-over-year price changes between the Mid-Cities Composite and the Altos 20 City Composite which tracks price changes in major metropolitan areas.
