Anyway, it’s irrelevant of what folks I think or other folks think what home prices will/won’t go to.
I have a target range that I’m willing and able to afford a home that i want for my next purpose, game on. Otherwise, pass. I’m not going to wait for the magic “bottom” because who knows where that will end up or how long. I could be dead by then..
[/quote]I too have a price range at which I am happy to pull the trigger. But the real estate cycle is nothing more than a gradual change in the numbers of people on either side of moving price barriers. So I don’t think that it’s a static game. As time goes on, more people will move their price triggers down, and fewer people will remain at the higher price points. Same happened on the way up. I wouldn’t base my estimates of the bottom of the market on my own personal tiggers.

Maybe you wouldn’t wait for a bottom, but if you know the price-point will move downward in a couple months, would you wait? I think most people would. Some wouldn’t.I waited to get an LCD monitor for my computer when they first came out. Knowing they would come down in price eventually. Is it cheaper now, from when I bought mine? Sure, but I think the price has leveled off some.
When people are comfortable buying again, they will buy. Personally, I don’t think the majority of folks are anywhere near that point.
On a side note, has anyone seen the prices for houses near lake Perris? Four year old homes are in the $50/sq ft range. Can they get cheaper than that? I know it’s Perris, but still…
