Housing prices have exploded across the nation and especially here in Atlanta, driven by low inventory and high demand.

Those prices are too high, according to a ranking from Florida Atlantic University and the American Real Estate Society.

The study finds Atlanta is the most overvalued out of the top 100 markets in the U.S., at about 50% higher than where prices should be.
