 Many forecasters are predicting steady price drops into late 2008 or early 2009. I do think prices are headed down in our area of Seattle/Tacoma. This will provide some good investing soon! Here is a report that shows predicted price drops for major cities. http://www.money.cnn.com/2007/09/19/real_estate/steep_home_price_drops_coming/index.htm?postversion=2007091915

Whats your prediction for your area? Here in the Seattle area, I think we will hold our own and remain flat. Some of the outlying areas such as Kent, Renton, Federal Way areas will go down 8-12%

We are at $5000 to $10000 below list price on a $175,000 average home in Lawrence KS.  I would expect that to stay about the same until late Spring 2008 when I would expect prices to start the climb back up to the list price.

That doesn't reflect well the Sab Francisco Bay Area as they lumped too many cities in the recipe. They say down 3.7% I say up 2% in the town of Belmont where I live. We'll see...

Jason:

Price drops should bring about more buying. Double digit price drops should bring them out in droves.
