Not looking at hard data as I write this but this is the area where I live and specialize in.

It seems that the SFRs in desirable uptown neighborhoods have a relatively less elastic demand curve than most of the county.

Prices there seem more like 2007 than 2005 but again I am not looking at data as I write this.

Simply put, prices don’t really need to drop there much for desire and easy lending to create effective demand.

Thats why anything with a second commode (like even in the garage) gets an extra 100k in value there.
