That moment has passed in Seattle and in Charlotte, N.C. Both metro areas hit bottom in the first quarter of 2006 and have since posted price gains of 12.3% and 6.3%, respectively, according to National Association of Realtors (NAR) data.

What do you think of this article?  All the "data" is quoted from NAR.  I see Lereah is out and Yun is in.  Same message apparently.  For instance how is the 12.3% and 6.3% measured, or what does it even mean?
