Just like the common supermarket has now mutated into a Whole Foods for the wealthy and a Shoppers Food Warehouse for the not-so-wealthy (with 2 completely different pricing-level structures ... for often the very same item), we can expect the housing market to equally diverge. Low end housing has to get cheaper to be affordable for a segment of the population that has seen no real increase in income in at least a decade, while high end housing will continue to sell for what the market will bare, which in this case is a lot.Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216089306021385355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1154379771911103422006-07-31T17:02:00.000-04:002006-07-31T17:02:00.000-04:00More apartment-based violence. linkMore apartment-based violence. <A HREF="http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/wfaa/latestnews/stories/wfaa060728_jfh_aptshootings.73b845.html" REL="nofollow"> link </A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1154379519512746182006-07-31T16:58:00.000-04:002006-07-31T16:58:00.000-04:00Don't look now, but frustrated apartment dwellers ...Don't look now, but frustrated apartment dwellers are shooting each other...

It's been running at 2-2.5%. Since summer is typically dead and the mood really is changing for buyers, I expect that drop to go through 3Q06. <BR/><BR/>Again, these numbers track the whole area so different pockets and different housing styles will do better and worse. However, I think the market as a whole will determine the mood of the market.
