Overcorrection? 1985 pricing?

What? No greed TG? Most important thing you could lack for this type of enterprise. Good Luck when and if you decide to go for it.

Back to 1985 prices?

It’s possible. I live in Riverside. I bought my home new in Feb 88 for $110K. By the time it was finished and I moved in, they were selling new ones for $140K. Anyone care to guess what my place is worth today? Yup, I’d say about $140k! Adjusted for inflation and the 10.5% 1988 interest rates, houses here are now about 40% cheaper than they were in 1988.

The house next door sold about 6 months ago for $180k and it’s a bit bigger with a pool. 1988 prices baby! Good thing mine’s nearly paid off…..

In the last 3 months the price declines in this area have nearly stopped. Or at least they’ve taken a break. I really don’t see them going too much lower because it’s now about 20% cheaper to buy than to rent. These homes are renting for $1200~$1500/mo. Even if rents drop I don’t see them going below the cost of buying anytime soon. Now I just need the better areas of Corona to catch up!

By better areas of Corona I assume your not referring to Eastvale?

Rents are coming down. So “cheaper to buy than rent”, means that home prices will be coming down as well. The number of REO’s on the market is flat-out amazing and the rise in unemployment is amazing as well. I track rentals pretty closely and the number available are growing extremely fast. I think the low-end has turned into speculation central.
