Maybe it's not a slowdown per se, it's just a price adjustment and leveling since home prices sored to unrealistic exorbidant prices over the last 2-3 years.
I hear ya.

I guess we'll see how the summer shakes out between mortgage rates, and price adjustments on homes. Socal has been crazy with the real estate from what I've heard.

I know even around my area some of the places, especially lake front, are still insanely priced. Although I am seeing a good percentage now with those "price reduced" signs. Which is nice if you are looking to buy. It would appear a lot of people are trying to get in that housing market up before the correction. I can't blame them.

Apartment buildings and duplex prices are not as bad as some of the single family homes, at least around here. Time will tell.
