The County experienced a further decline in listings (see chart below); home sales as expected decreased (it is summer); days on the market for sold homes increased; and properties selling for $ 500,000 or less are moving the fastest.
Quite unsettling are the guru's who tell us how to handle money.  They are finding themselves knee deep in alligators.

First (and still is ) personal ID theft.  It graduated to stealing homes and now ID thieves are stealing personal medical information.
This article was re-printed in both the Star Duster Newsletter and L. A. Daily News but was originally published in the The Dallas Morning News.  The writer is Pamela Yip.
When someone steals your identity, obtains loans in your name and then stiffs the lenders, the effects on your credit report can be devastating.  It can take weeks, months or sometimes years - as well as plenty of frustration - to restore your good name.

Watching grass grow is much more exciting than the real estate market.
However there are signs that the bottom has been set. 
The past week showed listing decreasing, sales increasing, the days on the market for sold homes decreased but the variance between list price of sold homes and the sales price showed an increase.

This summer (or any day for that matter) we will go to the beach for a fun time in the water and sun.
But one has to be vigilant, especially if you have young children accompanying you to the beach. 
Rip currents; sting rays and hitting the bottom after a wave hit can be trying moments.

It was reported in the Sunday Los Angeles Times (June 22, 2008:  author-Lew Sichelman) that homes and home equity are being stolen by identity thieves.
It appears that one goes hand in hand with the other.  If a person can steal your identity why can't they steal your home.
