I wonder if TIC will be able to move all the new houses at the price points they are quoting now!
 
Some Portola Springs and Woodbury product has been languishing on the market for months, brand new and ready to move in. So my intuition says no, and that price drops will be forthcoming.
 
To be very honest (I'm not touting the TIC) the prices of TIC homes (attached, detached condo, SFR) whatever it may be
even including HOA and mello roos is defintely lower or on par with resale.

So the question is not about "TIC" having to drop prices, it more about prices having to drop in general across the board.

I think it is more a testament to how crappy the median price is as an indicator over the short term.  I'm much more intent on watching the Case-Shiller Index numbers.  Even though they are late, they are the best indicator I think we have at our disposal.  Note that in all of the areas covered, that there was a drop. 

We will see what the newer numbers bring...

Thank you again for the opportunity to be of service, and please hold on to the snap, Mr. Rivers.

P.S. Congrats to Mr. FCB for purchasing 23 Needle Grass at that really strange sales price!
 
Thanks for the data IR2. It appears that the OC/LA market is down only down 4% from August 2010 and up 2% from August 2009. It appears that May 2009 was the bottom for the LA/OC market and there is strong support for the index number of 170.

The Chicago market in the other hand was a free fall until April 2011 bottom of 110. A nice bounce of 8% in four months.

I am an optimist when it comes to real estate and I believe the bottom is already in for LA/OC and Chicago market. I don't think OC/LA will ever drop below the May 2009 low of 159 (which i believe is the bottom).
 
23 Needle Grass

Damn! $8,888,888 in cash for a 14,000 square ft custom in Shady Canyon. Who ever this FCB is... " Can i ask where and how in the world did you come up with this kind of dough?" Brotha.. you are the FCB pimp of all pimps.
 
I read various opinions that say that 2009 was the bottom... but I didn't see that in the range of homes I looked at. In fact, many of those homes are priced lower now... esp South County.

Interesting how that works.
 
IHO,

LA/OC is still 6% above the April 2009 low. I just don't think we will go below the April 2009 index. We are now 5 years into the real estate crash. Builders are not building and eventually the supply will be absorbed by FCBs and others. It is all about supply and demand. Perhaps the bottom is not in in places like Detroit, but I believe that April 2009 is the bottom for LA/OC.

If there was a slight chance that Irvine SFR ppsf would get down to $250 ppsf I am sure that Patstar and I would have waited and bought in Irvine. IR2 just quoted the new median at $500,000 for Irvine. I highly doubt Irvine will drop 6% from this number.

IHO, you want to make some money in the currency market? Short the Euro :)

Corruption and unethical conducts in business practices. Imagine these are the parents of children attending Irvine schools.
