I hope First American is not paying much for this backward-looking "research". A more appropriate title for the report would be, "Markets where lenders got killed the last three years".

In 2006, lenders were routinely making home loans at $250-$300/sf in Riverside County. Today, lenders are making loans on those same homes for $50-$80/sf. Lots of risk in 2006; not much in late 2008.
