Fear and greed, the two things that move markets. Lots of blame to go around. Govt, Banks, Real Estate Agents, Buyers and Sellers to name a few. It’s too bad, responsible citizens ultimately have to pay the price..
We have yet to see the worst of this in Southern California. With the coming resets and recasts of Alt-A and Prime loans, the mid to high end markets will get hammered. For example Malibu, has already dropped 92% in sales volume over the last 4 years. In addition they have 4 years of current inventory listed. That’s not even counting any shadow inventory.
I’m afraid the Westside of LA is in for a world of hurt.

HI-larious! Where is the corporate responsibility? Now the responsible citizens pay the price.
