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!

Late 2009 (Sept or Oct) a large Meteor or Comet will be spotted. Some weeks later we find out it will hit Earth in mid 2012. At which point real estate values won’t mean much. Eh…. or did I see that in a movie……

Regardless, 2009 is gonna suck!

The 70-200 2.8 IS is a great lens. Spendy yes, but it’s worth it. The IS does make a difference. I balked at it until I bought a lens that has it. Now I won’t buy a long lens without it. depending on what you are shooting you might want to look at the 100-400 IS. I just got it and for shooting wildlife or airshows its fabulous.

B&H has decent prices but Buydig.com beats em. I’ve bought a ton of stuff from them over several years so don’t worry about them being a Broadway Camera type outfit. They are a solid vendor. No hanky panky grey market bait a switch garbage.

If anyone has a 17-40mm they want to part with at a decent price lemme know.
