Weekly Screen Scrape - More Interest

Uh.....seems the upward contract/pending trend is continuing. Instead of writing about it, I made a quick chart. Again these stats are for Folsom and EDH homes that meet my criteria (around 80 right now).

The bright spot in all this is 20% of the homes in my criteria are now below the $200 a sq ft mark!

If this trend keeps up another couple weeks, looks like we are going to have to start doing some serious house shopping.......My hope is that this is just a temporary last gasp of buyers bullied/scared into a contract by their mortgage broker who told them to lock in their interest rate.

For all those following the 1053 Smith Way house....it still hasn't gone pending (after 2 weeks) at $161 a square foot!

There are a very few decent deals out there. Thank you for posting your research. While your prediction involves a tremendous price downward adjustment in real terms, that new price level would still be much higher than real prices of the late 90's and 2000. I think you are correct.
