Think California Real Estate will turnaround this year? Think Again!
According to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. report released last week, California home prices and sales volumes will also slide into 2009, while some areas of the state experience an even more prolonged downturn.
Jack Kyser, chief economist of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp, said:
"The housing pains there will remain, probably until 2010."
The statewide median home price last month was down about 17 percent from a year earlier and 5 percent from December, according to DataQuick Information Systems. The statewide median price peaked last spring.
In San Diego, most insiders will agree that the top of the housing market was the summer of 2005.

You know what? It’s socialist nonsense such as everyone should own a home that caused the current problems that we have now. What you dont understand is that socialist agendas are created by both leftist groups and right extreme idiots. regardless socialism is socialism and causes financial distress at the end. Why is it that these people just dont understand? the obama and clinton health care for all bullsh-t. freddie mac /fannie mae created a socialist vacuum that transferred risk from banks to tax payers and 401k holders. it is socialist removal of risk that causes bubbles in the first place. people need to know and understand that when they take a risk that they can loose. and that is that. u buy a house — then u got to make payments for 30 years. u miss a payment u loose ur house and ur credit. therefore, that loan amount should be very in line with what you can afford. this is not rocket science. the banks are socialist, the gov are socialist, u r a socialist, and anyone who tries to remove risk from the equasion of reward is socalist too.

I TELL EVERY PERSON HERE NOW. SOCIALISM IS NOT THE ANSWER AND WILL RUIN THE AMERICAN DREAM. STOP THE CORP WELFARE PROGRAMS AND THE GENERAL WELFARE PROGRAMS ALL TOGETHER. The socialist politics in this country must be abolished. we need free markets, less regulation, no gov. guarantees , personal accountability in the free markets — let there be skin in the game for the risk takers….

Consumer demand will drop. Unemployment will rise. The US will go into a recession at best, a depression at worst. Expect first stagflation (high inflation and high unemployment), both because of the increased price of imports and deliberate pump priming by the Fed, then deflation, as asset prices collapse so hard they take everything else with them. The other likely scenario is stagflation followed by hyperinflation. Formal inflation numbers put out will become not just a joke amongst market-watchers, but amongst the actual population. Same thing with unemployment numbers.
