I still think Baltimore is one of the hotter areas in the country. A lot of people are moving here from other places, (city and metro). Development is finally starting to spread to areas farther from the CBD and inner harbor, but there is still high demand and I think it will continue for at least another 10 years or so. Not only that but housing prices are so high in the county now that others (especially younger people) will want to move into the city that is still cheaper in a lot of regards and still better to live in if you work there (especially with the continuing escalating gas prices). Live close to where you work. haha, of course presently I live in White Marsh and work in Owings Mills, not fun, but it could be worse!
