Wow !!  That is an awesome photo !!  I heard that the prices have been dropping in CA. 

Here in my area of Texas, DFW,  we are hoping that we can attract a lot of folks from California to move here.

Lauren-Prices did drop last year and there are places where home prices continue to drop.. Most of the beach cities along the coast in So Cal seem to be holding their own this year.  We are all seeing prices stabilize and even go up a little on prime properties.. I suspect you will see a few transplanted Californians in the next year or so.. the population of Los Angeles County just topped 10,300,000 that's more then many other states' total populations

Kaye, good reply to the question that gentleman asked you! I also have to say that the picture above is a postcard perfect picture!

Hey Kaye, could you post a pic on Localism of that really huge sand hill in Manhattan that people train on?  I was there in 1998 and decided to sprint to the top.  About 60% of the way up I realized that although my form was still very good (great knee lift and all), I was not progressing up the hill anymore.  I had sunk into the sand so far that I was spinning in place.  I abruptly shut down and acknowledged that the hill had won.  I wish I had a hill like that to train on now!

Danny-I think the stats speak for themselves.. he may not like it but it is what it is.. Would you believe I took this with my old Kodak... I just bought a new Kodak P880 with wide lens and will see what the difference is..

Tchaka- I will absolutely take a picture of the sand dune for you as soon as I get my new camera.. I tried doing it with my current 34mm lens and didn't work very well.. so hopefully I will get some awesome shots with the new wide angle camera..

kaye,

Great info, thanks for sharing it, Always it is good to know information, statistics from every state :) keep the good work

Ray- Thanks for visiting and commenting..

Kaye, that looks like a beautiful place to live, but I could not imagine paying those prices for a house.  A little bit of sticker shock for me......LOL

George- It's a little bit of paradise with a price to match..LOL.. it is a bit of a sticker shock for people who relocate to our area but after a bit everyone get used to the prices ..

Hi Kaye: It's taken a while for me to respond...kinda' been put of action for the last week.

Kaye :)  hope that you are doing with your listing :)

Ray- Woud like to see a few more listings hit the amrket ..

Kay ~ your inventory is low and your sales are high.  I believe your assessment of the market is right on!  BTW with scenery like that in your photo, I can understand why.  Your area is lovely!

kk- So far we seem to be doing well ... hope it holds steady.. You've got some pretty spectacular scenery too... my Sis lives in Loveland and my nieces love going into Denver to  Casa Flores ..
