The 5 worst markets
While the U.S. overall is expected to see a 1% drop in home prices next year, according to LMM, these markets — with a population of 400,000 or more — should fare worst. (Hint: It's looking like dark times for the Sunshine State.)

Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, Fla.: The average home price is predicted to drop a whopping 11% over the next year from the average actual home price of $146,234 at the end of the third quarter.
Lakeland-Winter Haven, Fla.: A 7% decline from the average actual home price of $139,734.
Orlando-Kissimmee, Fla.: A 7% decline from the average actual home price of $180,900.
Boise-Nampa, Idaho: A 7% drop from the $162,016 average at the end of the third quarter.
Reno-Sparks, Nev.: Down 7% from $188,286.
The 5 best markets
And which areas did LMM pinpoint as having the best prospects for buyers in 2011? (Don't get too excited. The good news here isn't great, but it's better than the alternative.)

San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, Calif.: The average price in this boom-and-bust market is predicted to increase 1% over the next year from the average actual home price of $336,679 at the end of the third quarter.
Oklahoma City: Homeowners here will be OK, with an increase of 1% in 2011, from an average of $156,948.
Tulsa, Okla.: No risk here: Prices will stay flat next year at $151,384.
Cincinnati-Middletown, Ohio-Ky.-Ind.: Ditto for this area: Prices will remain flat, at $175,347.
Lexington-Fayette, Ky.: This is a market at bottom: Prices here will decline about 1% from the average actual home price $183,084.
