This is a common story that is being heard everywhere right now.  The thing is that the good buyers are starting to come out in a big way.  There is a whole group of buyers that have been waiting for this moment to buy as they could not afford during the boom.  These people have good money down and great credit.  As the fall progresses I am seeing more and more of them.

JOE: I am glad to hear it Joe. I hope things in CA get better, I would like to move their someday, or at least purchase a home. That is when I can afford to do such a thing. Things are not cheap there.

Ulises - I hear you.  things are not as bad as the press makes them out to be.  There are a few areas that have been hit pretty hard but there are also some others that are still showing great numbers.  It is pricy out here and it can be hard to but.  Most people buy in the outlining areas of LA and upgrade as they gain equity.  Just like any other area it is just getting in that is the hard part, but once you are in you are in.

Ulises,It is the same in the Las Vegas area, now is the time for buyers....qualified buyers!
