Don’t waste your time, it is marketing in a blog format. I love the article from Feb 4th, calling bottom and claiming some homes have dropped 100k in the last year but only those that were priced incorrectly. I can probably find drops of 100k since Feb 4th when she gave that sage advice, I can certainly find 200k drops all day without trying and have posted 50% drops many times. I’ll take the challenge, heck, I’ll go one handed on a dial up connection.
Some other gems is her analysis of the 100k average sales price difference between murrieta and temecula, her only explanation was that maybe the next month the numbers would be different, HEY, thanks for the analysis. She put up the raw numbers (1800 listings in mur, 50 sales, 1300 listings in tem, 50 sales) but instead of pointing out that a new record of 26 and 36 months of inventory had been reached, she still managed to come to the conclusion that it has hit bottom and it’s a great time to buy! I guess they don’t teach history or economics in the Tarbell realtor training classes.
