You’re spot on. I just saw this site fairly recently, and had lots of general questions. I’ve now seen that everything I had questions about was raised months ago, and discussed in depth.
At this point, we’re all just waiting for the right time and price (and sometimes area, for the more footloose opportunists) to buy in. And what we need is mostly just early warning data on prices and pressures.
You didn’t say it, but I think you implied that the strong and increasing tendency to go off-topic onto traditional non-RE topics of passionate disagreement was driven by a lack of really meaty RE news that even the fully up-to-date blogger here can get excited about. I agree. Bored teenagers start shouting and fighting with each other. So let’s give ’em something chewy to keep busy on.
I’d add that temeculaguy’s updates on price drops are helpful and uplifting, and PD and others have given useful updates on Coronado. There is a whole section of this blog that was supposed to be set aside for news about specific areas. Maybe some threads could be set up there so that it’s easy for us all to know where to post specific info and look it up?
