Peterb, you pinned the tail on the donkey!!! Unemployment is going to dash all hopes of an upward trend next year. I love the optimism, but from a realistic standpoint, I just don’t see this happening. If unemployment is held in check at under 10% nationally there would be a chance, but we are creeping up very quickly and the likelihood is about as good as the Chargers making the playoffs. I need to see the coastal market down another 15-20% before I call any bargains at the beach. There is a bit of optimism in that phrase, but hey we got a bunch of hopeful people so why not join the club?
