As much as I want to be; I’m not convinced yet the economy is actually improving (significantly) – at least in my time frame..

What I see is continuing falling home prices, still brutal numbers of foreclosures and short sales – which are killing home prices at least in Temecula.

Is it better than 2008/2009? Maybe; prices of homes aren’t falling as fast, but they’re still falling.

The layoff situation has improved.

But year over year (2011->2012), I’m not really seeing it.
