      As a addicted lurker to this blog I found something interesting tonight. Do you all remember up until recently, 3 or 4 of the active forum topics were examples of the price drops all over the county? They would generate tons of buzz and would stick around for days. Now look over there. Not one thread showing examples of the HUGE drops we are seeing. It is amazing that in the face of all the homes that are upside down financially, one of the most popular housing blogs is talking about first dates and joint checking accounts. We have become so used to this train wreck that it isn’t news on a case by case basis. I guess it is so bad out there that it isn’t even worth showing examples. We have come a long way.

        No high fives here, I was just making an observation. I know to many people in San Diego that are in that upside down group.

          Yeah me too. I guess the issue is compartmentalized and my responses vary from where the stimulus is at the time. Grow up rustico. Nice post and observations anyway.

          tothjj,

          Apparently you’ve been here for a while, and you must know that people’s misfortune does not make most of us happy. Being proven right on a long-term prediction does, though.

          Rustico, I’ll take that high five.

      Just for old times sake here’s a 50% off peak listing http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1145823
      Does that put the “train wreck” back on track?

      Now there is much talk about the economy in general and how to either make money or avoid loosing it due to inflation. Bottom line, we went from one problem to another but many of us have done well compared to others that got caught in the housing mania.

        I happened to be on Palomar Airport Road today so I figured I’d swing into Bressi Ranch and see what all the talk is about.

        When I saw this, all I could think of was what a poster child for the bubble:

        http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1236614

        Roads virtually surrounding the house, 6219 sf, $2.5 million!

        My lord, to what excess did we go. It looked like the builder is having some problems, as a couple of similar whales looked new but had ‘for rent’ signs in front of them.

        I still don’t understand Bressi Ranch (no driveways, front door practically on the sidewalk) but at least it’s distinctive.
