[quote=5yearwaiter][quote=peterb]Unemployment rising, credit constricting. And the foreclosures are increasing. This failout plan is cryptic at best when the issue of the average home owner is considered.

This is the kind of forecast that I wanted to hear and look further…

…However I am also hearing (and seeing) many start buying due to price decline and few expects this is the OLY BOTTOM for San Diego- this is kind of slogan I don’t want to hear compare to the currernt crisis. I am still hoping a steep price decline for San Diego county (even places like 4s Ranch and Carmell Valley)[/quote]

There were quite a few people buying in January/February timeframe as well. A lot of them posted (here and on other websites like SDLookup) that they felt the bottom was in at that time as well. Assuming a $450K purchase price at that time, they’ve lost well over 10% of that value in the ensuing 9 months since (and that’s probably an underestimate).
