In the San Francisco-based company’s quarterly “bubble watch” study, Palm Beach County’s residential prices remained undervalued by 3 percent, the Palm Beach Post reported. Trulia compares current sale prices to historical transaction, income and rental data in its report. Overvalued home prices put a market at risk of a future bubble.

Palm Beach County fared better than Miami-Dade and Broward counties, which are both 6 percent overvalued. That puts them in the top 10 for largest overvalued metro areas in the nation. Orange County, Calif. Topped the list at 16 percent overvalued. [Palm Beach Post]Eric Kalis
