California was listed as one of the hardest hit areas due to recent lending industry practices and foreclosures and I was wondering how your area has done? It so funny how some areas are ok and others not. I see areas with economic problems and foreclosures and then there are luxury homes also so trying to figure out the mystery. Well the common denomenator is loan that people walked from and a declining home values. I see buyers starting to get out the last few weeks and see if they can do better by selling and repurchasing a house or first time buyers seeing if they can purchase a home.
