Santa Monica 90402 UP 65.1%…Playa Del Rey UP 65.8%…Pasadena 91106 UP 85.9%…Encino 91316 UP 46.1%…Marina Del Rey UP 93.7% LOL, I guess we can expect ’similar results’ to continue, as well?
Doubtful on that end. I expect in the long run to see volatilite zig zag pattern to continue.
The median price is up over 15% YOY!!! I’m sorry, but did you fail to read that in the DQ article? Last year it was cheaper to buy a house than it is this year. I guess if prices go up another 15% next year, you will be cheering that the market is ‘flat’???
‘The median price paid for a Southland home was $285,000 last month, the same as in March, and up 15.4 percent from $247,000 for April 2009, which was the low point of the current cycle. ‘ DQNews.com
Indeed someone did miss the first sentence in the article....
"Southern California’s housing market leveled off last month as sales activity migrated ever-so-slightly from inland bargain areas toward entry- and mid-market neighborhoods closer to the coast. The overall median price was unchanged from the month before, but it jumped compared with April 2009’s low point, a real estate information service reported."

Ya think? Wow, you’re a freaking genius for spotting that. Nobody else had any idea that prices had gone up last year. Doy.
Gamy, you actually clicked the link? Wow! I would have expected you to only have read the OP~~~and nothing else. I’m impressed by your prowess and the friggin depth of your research. Way to go. The OP failed to point it out, and I figured someone gamy like you needed the extra bit of info. Mybad.
The OP said "sales fell from March to April and the median price was flat", which is true. No, he didn't point out EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE. That doesn't mean he failed. We know that prices are up YOY, at least anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the past year. Does the blindingly obvious really impress you? Did you really not know that already? You just now found out when you clicked on that link? Amazing. WTF is "gamy"? Some sophmoric insult?

Who cares about 'EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE'? How about something pivotal in the article? And, yes, the 'blindingly obvious' needs to be pointed out so that people who are deliberately obtuse might get a larger picture.
And thanks for the malapropism: 'Some SOPHMORIC insult?' You are a barrel of laughs. :P

I guess when the numbers don't support your premise, that we can no longer trust 'similar results to continue'. But when the numbers suit you, you believe that THAT trend will continue? :/ I agree with you, however, we will, more than likely, see a volatility in the numbers. But, I predict that Southern California median prices will be higher April 2011 than they were April 2010. IMHO, the best time to have bought might have been last year, when everyone was in panic mode. I'm still waiting for the Bay Area to drop down to a price point that I can afford. It hasn't done so yet. I wait patiently. Bay Area prices are up 21.7% YOY. Distressing numbers for those waiting to buy.
Wait until rates hit double-digits in a couple of years. Most of the people that recently bought will feel the pain and will regret their purchase. Also, did you know we have about 8.5 yrs of housing inventory in this country? Common sense tells me that prices will have to plummet.
Since when did the housing market work on common sense?

It made perfect sense to buy in 2000-2004 and sell in 2005-2006.
At any give time, half of the market is always right : )

You seem to be the only one obtuse enough not to already know that prices went up last year. Here's a clue: the fact that someone didn't state the blindingly obvious doesn't mean they were hiding it. Pick up a newspaper once in awhile like the rest of us.

Because I left out an 'o'? That would be a misspelling, not a malapropism. Wow, I misspelled one word in my entire post. What a freaking laugh riot that is. Are you always this big a tool?

Ever think that more higher end homes were sold this year than last year... Maybe more dumpy foreclosures were unloaded last year dragging down the median home price.
MEDIAN HOME PRICE MEANS NOTHING in the current environment... There are so few homes selling still compared to the peak market that if you throw in a few million dollar home sales into the equation the median market numbers rise dramatically.
A better test of if home prices are going up or not is to flag a bunch of homes on REDFIN and they'll email you when asking prices rise or fall... Since the tax credit has ended I'm getting emails on a daily basis that my FAVORITE homes asking prices are falling $20-30K.

Actually, no, the obtuse one I was writing about would be you. You've shown no trace of acuity. I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary to point that out, but you leave me no other choice. Impressed as I am by your assertion of reading a newspaper, I'm sure that the only one you pick up has the word 'Enquirer' in its title.
'Sophmoric' insults aside, you started a flame war and now, appear to have your panties in a wad over it.
Relax, Gamy, it's only a message board. :P

Actually, Gamy, the OP 'said' NOTHING, as the OP did not 'speak'. The OP 'WROTE' that 'sales fell from March...' :P

My god - I think you may be legally retarded. Better go get yourself checked. I would be concerned that maybe you've suffered a mild stroke, but you're such a human sh1t stain that I don't really care. How about you go away and let the adults talk now, hmmm?

Another patented bit of stupidity from the board idiot. Obviously a moron (and a bag of sh*t), such as you, doesn't comprehend the difference between the SPOKEN and the WRITTEN word. Quelle surprise! Gamy, I'm not about to go anywhere, so quit your whining and bellyaching, since it's YOU who started this. Don't cry now because you drew undue attention to your 'SOPHMORIC' posts. No one but YOU had a hand in them.
Gamy, get well soon. Or not. :P

How cute. You really think you're an intellectual because you used a French word and some 5-star "word-a-day" entries like "acuity". Did you actually get all the way through that post before you spewed your load imagining how clever you are? I especially like your fantasy that you "got me" because I used a figure of speech in referring to something you 'said', as opposed to 'wrote'. That kind of sh1t really gets you excited, huh? Did you call your Mom down to the basement to show her how you are lord of the internet?
What a f#cking loser troll you are. I never imagined anyone could get so upset just because I pointed out your stupidity in bringing up a point that everyone except you is already aware of. That really upset you, didn't it? Did you cry?

GamyIsRigged: 'I'm going to teach some of these SOPHMORIC posters a thing or two about life' :P
I doubt you have a mother or anyone, anywhere who could possibly care one whit about you. I doubt you care about yourself.
Get well soon, Gamy. Otherwise, amuse-moi.
Ooh, it turns me on when you speak French like that, you hot stud, you.
I'm done here. Willy, you have serious personality issues. Seek help.

Thank~you for your internet analysis. :P
DQ News is reporting that Socal sales fell from March to April and the median price was flat. Looks like the real estate recovery has officially stalled.
