  1. I don’t watch all of SF but new Notice of Sales have been down for a month or two. Why? I think its election year grandstanding and also banks are getting better and quicker at closing short sales. Plus the modifications are happening at such a low rate, people can make the payments.
    Now I am seeing a general slowdown on people out and about spending. Don’t know if its saving up for the holidays, not knowing what will happen after the election, or people are maxed out.
    The #1 problem in the housing market the housing homers are not looking at is underwater property. How many people will just quit paying next year? If the economy slows back down, and layoffs start up how many people just walk away?
    SF to Silcion Valley is different due to high paying jobs but even as sales are increasing in the central valley prices are not. But rents are starting to rise again.

  2. To the Editor: Censorship is very appropriate when you don’t like what’s being said, very communistic/socialist, indeed.
