ParticipantMany people bought right at the top of the market. Some people would buy even if we were in the middle of huge war. There’s no escaping that, but I think we are well into the self-fulfilling prophesy cycle at the moment, and although some people are prepared to buy in some areas, it stands to reason that things won’t improve for as long as people are convinced we’re in the middle the worst economic crisis most of us have ever seen. Anyone with any sense, is going to wait for the first signs of a turnaround before committing. Mind you, common sense was wanting before so who knows?

Participant[quote=teatsonabull]Lastly, I submit that the increased fire danger in all of Southern California (which will likely leave no area unburned over the next 20 years) is a change (for the worse) in the “weather” that may keep people away.[/quote]
You probably would get used to the idea of raging fires all year round after a while, as people do earthquakes, but I agree, looking from the outside, it’s not the greatest incentive. But again there’s ‘nought as queer as folk’. The recent fire map which someone posted, showed Rancho Santa Fe as being particularly prone. Total madness IMHO.

ParticipantI like the optimism, and hope business picks up for you guys eventually. I wonder how many of those domigrants are returning Californians, and how many births are included in that [figure]?
