Post-Season Prime. The fastest, roughest basketball of all comes in the post-season games of the N.I.T. and N.C.A.A. championships, whose finals were played off last week.

...Trigger. Prices naturally rise fastest in the most rapidly growing and most crowded areas: California, Florida, Arizona and metropolitan New York. In the East, prices get a boost from many suburban communities that resort to "snob zoning" to keep out the creeping city. Reasoning that an influx of families in matchbox homes would overload their schools with children, these communities have zoned all lots for one, two and three acres.
