Sweet. So with all the shadow inventory, they still couldn’t stop the inevitable?
By the way, does anyone know if Rancho Carillo in Carlsbad is a good location? I am starting to think about moving back to Carlsbad as I originally planned, given there now seems to be many below $200/sqft home in those area.

Rich,
This is pretty big news. Hitting a new low – now talk on when we’ll hit bottom will pick up again. Many, including me, thought it was behind us.

Soon I will update the long term price to income and price to rent charts, which I think give the best read on where we are valuation wise. Soon!

We look dangerously close in aggregate to that 0% gridline. As I expect an extended period of home price stagnancy and general CPI inflation we should cross it. Wonder when we will?

I’ve been also wondering about the way the longer term data might look. For the last year I thought a graph like this would be interesting. Thanks for posting that. It is very interesting.

LA’s biggest declines were in
LA’s biggest declines were in the high tier (-1.1%) which is where you’d expect them to be. It is a hefty slice, and if that continues into Oct and Nov, we are back to pre-tax credit momentum.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly Corelogic has home prices down 1.3% in October http://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2011/12/corelogic-house-price-index-declined-13.html

The inventory/demand ratio probably varies wildly across the country and within sub-markets. I am amazed at how willing some buyers are to part with their money. “$800k still only buys a shack” was how a hotel manager described to me the market in Carmel (Monterey) recently. High end foreclosures still appear to be only trickling into listings in some areas, notably Santa Barbara, creating the illusion of demand and supply equilibrium. Rates may be driving some markets, but a residue of bubble mentality remains in evidence.
