Like most of us, the other night I was doing my weekly MLS search to get the latest statistics.  I know there have been posts written about this but for some reason it just hit me.  You know how you hit your forehead when the thought or idea finally dawns?  Well I had one of those moments.  I wish I could say it was cathartic, but it wasn't that illuminating.  It did however, help me to put things in prospective.  In my search, I went back to January 1, 2006.  Now we all know the market was beginning to change by then, but it wasn't as extreme as it is now.Here is what I found out for my area only.  Remember, I live in Southern California.All listing are down by almost two thirds.  Of those listed the average (not mean) were on the market from 89 to 233 days. Of those the average was ab... 05/30/2007

In Webster's dictionary  the third definition of the word bubble is; "3. any idea or scheme that is plausible at first but quickly shows itself to be flimsy or worthless."I like most people think of a bubble as being a pretty film of soap that with irradiance floats through the air reflecting all that it passes with a rainbow of color.  It floats up on the air currents until it pops.Now with either or both of those definitions I am having a problem relating it to the Real Estate market we in some states are experiencing.  The market hasn't gone away. It hasn't floated up on some economical heat current, and it sure isn't rose colored anymore.I think using the term "the bubble has popped" is misleading to the clients in the most negative way.It is true that the market has changed.
