As far as I'm concerned, this is an outlier for now. It has been rare to see early 2004 rollbacks lately and that is what this is. The location isn't great and the building isn't anything to get too excited about...but it doesn't look like a disaster property either. With all the government programs/incentives, it is interesting to see a property like this roll back so far. I still believe the expiration of the Fed MBS buying program and the expiration of the federal tax credit may help soften prices later this year...but at the same time, California just extended/modified the tax credit on the state level...so kind of murky but we'll see how it plays out.

  1. Ouch. I feel for the previous owner.

    If only he had been unashamed to be a fence sitter and a renter in 2005, he could have saved himself $100,000+.
