Tough call on both sides guys. Personally I am in the middle of the road. I don’t think we will ever see some of the pricing suggestions that some have posted for 4S but that is my own simpleton opinion. As usual my caviot is jobs…. we get lots of layoffs then I will sing a different tune. That happens I have a feeling alot of posters and lurkers alike here may be kind of bummed.
Anyways I tried a little searching to see what the facts say. ocrenter you find gems man… I think I still owe you a title search of the cat with 9 lives. Post me that address if you can again.
So I went to the MLS and did a string search on solds in 92127. I searched for both lender and short in the remarks field and the confidential remarks field to see what came up. Not nearly as many properties as I thought would come up came up so I am wondering what I missed. Anyways here were the findings. I also only captured homes built since 1999.

So what does this tell us? Well not much I guess… certainly not enough to draw major conclusions. I guess we will see in a few years. One thing to note… I did the search for homes back to 1999 but as you can see, all of the sales were in 2007 except for 1 transaction. So clearly 2007 was the year distress hit 92127. Let’s see if 2008 and beyond match the 07 numbers.
