Da weekly tumble

There's not much different this week than most weeks. The numbers are still falling. The core median asking price is down $15k in the last month and the county median is about the same. The high end did a little better but still dropped about 10K. The low end also lost about $10k last month. Inventory remains fairly stable after the drop in early sept that was due to the new foreclosure rules. I expect the inventory numbers will start to climb by next month as the banks catch up. The rapidly deteriorating economy will surely start having an effect on sales as well.


The Core area data is as follows;

Including Arlington, Bloomington, Box Springs, Canyon Crest, Casa Blanca, Colton, Corona, Crestmore, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Jurupa, La Sierra, Mira Loma, Moreno Valley, Norco, Perris, Rubidoux, Woodcrest

It's a great time to buy so long as you don't mind the value of your house going down 5% per month. That's the current rate of median price decline in the IE.

The prices are still falling. They slowed a little during the summer but with the economy still getting worse, foreclosures still through the roof and inventory still very high there's a lot of downward pressure on the prices. I'm waiting at least until late winter before I go looking again.
