 Whoa! Just when you think it can’t get worse…2 closed sales this week….the short sales are suspiciously absent…what could that be? Another new ineffective government program? HAFA was rolled out the beginning of April…it’s August! Short Sale closings ought to be rockin and rollin by now 4 months, please a regular Short Sale can get done in that amount of time…just a thought…have no proof except the last 2 weeks the short sales closings have vanished….

Wow! For some reason it feels like the market has fallen off a cliff…..Whatever cycle the market is in there is still a micro-cycle within and we are in what I call the dregs of summer! That being said…our absorption rate for the San Benito County has reached 1 month. We have not seen this number in probably 2 years. Interest Rates remain historically low i.e. around 4.5% but lending standards are tougher than we’ve ever seen. The economy seems worse than what we’re hearing in the news…..Our market values have come down about 58% from the peak so if you can make a purchase…it is an awesome time to buy!
