It is good to hear you are settled into your new home and community. Real eatate short sales and foreclosures are occurring not only in California, but across the country. It would be interesting to see short sale statistics on national and regional levels, but I’m not sure they exist or are resported (or that Wall Street wants them published).

I am thinking short sales are a whispered subject in the investment world.

Mine was because home prices were so high, I would never be able to afford a home for my family unless we moved out of CA. The homeowners were snobby at looked down on us because we were only “renters”.
We did move in 2005, now I own a beautiful home at a fraction of the CA prices and never want to move or experience the stress of CA again.
“To everything there is a season”. I applaud Roberta’s sympathy to current upside-downers, but all of us in life will have our trials. No one will escape, they will just be different types of trials..
So let’s all be kind and sympathetic to one another.

I am sure they would be laughing all the way to the bank if they had made a small fortune. However, it was their ‘choice’. Their choice, risk and it’s their responsibility.
