Home values in Baton Rouge are expected to appreciate by 0.2% in 2011, according to a new forecast. Veros Real Estate Solutions, which prepared the forecast, says anticipation of a modest increase locally contrasts with the expected decline of 0.7% in home values nationally. Yet Veros says 40% of the largest U.S. metro areas should see home values appreciate in 2011. San Diego is projected to be the biggest gainer, going up by 3.5%. Reno, Nev., is seen as the weakest market, with values predicted to drop by 7.2%.
