Simple supply and demand will play out of the next 12 to 24 months on this one. We just took what will likely end up being about 2,000 homes out of the market. We will see increased needs for rentals. We will have more contractors going back to work. I doubt the the weather will change. Some will leave because of the fire, others will come as prices have become relatively more affordable. If anyhting, this will help the market a little, but the impact will likely be unmeasurable.
