Well, I bungled it again--sorry.
You can view the chart at the Marin housing bubble site:

I’m sure there is some explaination as to why October is so volitile, but I don’t know what it is.
I hate to say this... but I am sure it is astrological.

Then Peter might finally host his bubble party!
Can we have a party anyway?
I feel that you guys are closer than many of my friends.
BTW...here's a link to the Marin article on housing prices.

From the article, it almost seems fatalism is driving housing prices...up and up!
Yuan,
Your yahoo address isn't working --retried it & got

Actual address censored for your protection :-). Maybe try another address? Anyway, no big deal --thanks.
Hey, Suds,
We're well past the 200-post mark. Is your 'new construction' thread ready to go? Just post here & Peter, SactoQt or I will create it for you.
@Dipanjan
It was a day of pretty broad declines, but there's definitely something afoot. The media never met a tragedy it didn't like, and today's is the housing bubble. Institutional investors are seeing the story gain traction in the media, and they're starting to shed. That's my guess. If I'm right, I'd expect that batch to gain back early next week, then have another day or two like the last couple.
As for myself, I'm just hoping that the bubble backlash holds of for a few more weeks so I can get my affairs in order. As opportunistic as selling at the peak might be, I'd rather do that than get stuck in the seller's winter.
PS: tinyurl is great, but it sucks that you never know where you're being linked to in advance. Why again does tinyurl work but other URLs don't?
@quesera,

When your comment gets blocked (“Your comment is awaiting moderation†message) it usually means you included a URL that the WordPress blog software is picking up as a “spam†address. Unfortunately, I don’t have the authority to manually override this –I believe only Patrick does.
Sometimes, I've even had this happen with TinyUrl addresses. That's why I always trim off the “http://†& “wwwâ€. This seems to “fool†the software into letting you post.
Suds hasn't come through with his thread topic yet, so I've posted a thread based on one of Peter P's old ideas: FuckedCounty.com
Hey Bubblehead Forum,

Anybody see Baidu (Chinese Google) up 350% today? Huh huh.

How SAD!
Pacific Heights Tier 1
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with this compay.
Congratulations are in order for the business to be successful.
I do hope that the company is making money, because the bankers seem to have made alot.
BUT, the bankes do have some serious overheads.
Settlements with SEC and disgruntled investers etc.

We can go to open houses, jump around, and see (hear) how good (bad) the quality is. ;)
Suds Says:
Harm: I could not find any articles about new home construction quality in the Bay Area yet — I’ll keep looking, although if anyone else has news/views on it, we can use that to start a thread…
Np, Suds. Actually you don't need a truckload of statistics/articles to start a good thread (this thread ought to be proof of that). Just some good questions and some of your own observations. Post what you've got & that'll be good enough.

"For sale: Trailer w/ocean vu, $1 million obo "
Yahoo News: tinyurl.com/9eh5l
So wonderfully Californian, Marsha Weidman's home has it all--along the beach, far from noisy traffic, with a Jacuzzi used to watch sunsets over the Pacific.
For this, she and her husband recently paid $1.05 million.
For that, they got a trailer, built in 1971, without any land.
Plus, the family must pay "space rent," which at two Malibu parks dotted with seven-figure trailers ranges from $800 to $2,500 monthly.
So... Is this a great deal or what?? After all, this is prime beachfront in MALIBU, people! Some pretty big PIBs (Positive IntangiBles) here, no? Discuss.
