Most Overvalued Markets

According an annual survey from The Economist, the United States is one of only 4 countries where housing is actually undervalued.  The U.S. sits at -2.1% while the most undervalued housing market is Japan coming in at -34.6% of value.

Now, the title of my post is "Most Overvalued Markets" so I guess I should tell you the Top 10.  If you plan on moving to any of these countries any time soon, plan on paying a little too much for your home!
