Great article rich. I like the addition of the fact that you had to adjust the scale, it really takes home the message of how increadable a decline like that really is.

A reduction in the median price might be reflecting people expecting that the cheaper foreclosures are the bargains - or merely reflecting the fact that the cheaper houses are the ones people can actually afford.

Is is fair to say that the median price for Condos may be a little more accurate since the price range in this category is not so wide?
