“In the view of many real estate agents here, the slump is nothing more than a temporary cooling. Californians continue to recite a litany of factors they think will keep the housing market from going into a steep dive, including the state’s diversified economy, widespread restrictions on building that have limited the supply of housing and its strong population growth. Early census figures show that the state’s population has topped 29 million, for an explosive 23.7 percent rise in a decade.” I lmao when I hear the term “cooling”.
