March 2006: Prices rose again in February. Darn, aren’t they supposed to keep falling? Isn’t Sacramento Land(ing) begging for us to call them price drops instead of price corrections?
And come to think of it, even when dropping that was a pretty smooth curve compared to a bursting bubble, wasn’t it? And now it’s on the rise again. Awww… and just when Sacramento Landing was reporting Central Valley “Bubble Appears to be Bursting”, we had to go screw it up with a price increase.

I'm sure you know where this came from.

No doubt the market is headed south but with tons of lower-end houses on the market at reduced prices, there's a lot of apples-to-oranges at work here. Isn't there?

No, there is no apples-to-oranges.

Just grapes. Sour grapes. And LOTS of them!

Nobody cared about apples to oranges on the way up.

And if more lower priced homes move while the higher priced ones dont sell, it is only a matter of time before those come down too.

Lander, know what's interesting? Normally, bigger homes sell for less per $/sqft for obvious reasons. Smaller homes always have a higher price per sqft. What I've seen lately is the smaller homes are now selling for less $/sqft than their bigger counterparts. Don't recall last time I saw that.
