First some fun reading from the LA Times - Bridging the great divide between home buyers and sellers. Many owners "have not adjusted their price expectations downward" to keep pace with local declines in property values after the mortgage bust, Engelhardt said, thereby contributing to the sharp divergence in their real estate visions compared with those of buyers”
It’s oddly comforting to hear they’re still having the same struggle as we are in la-la-land
Then a little closer to home the AZ Daily Star weighs in on how drastically home prices have dropped at the lowest end of the market > 1 in 3 homes here sell for under $100K < along with a very candid but not too comforting quote from Marshall Vest – our local star economist – who, after predicting that prices will stop falling in 2012, admits, "Of course that was my forecast last year, the year before that and the year before that."
WELCOME TO 2012!
