Thanks for the reality check NSR. His comment was for the US not So cal. Other parts of the country have affordability while we do not. While volume seems to be bottoming out on a Y-O-Y basis to some extent, I dont think anyone around hear is calling for a bottom in prices with a straight face.
Furthermore, if you look at the bottom in 1991 in housing starts, resale prices didnt bottom here until around 1995. Thus the chart may actually support the price bottom between 2010 to 2012 that so many of us have been calling for the last 2 years.
