Here's something a 3.91% 30 yr fixed mortgage isn't going to fix .....
Sales of exisiting homes year over year in the OC .... plus 7%
Prices of exisiting homes year over year in the OC .. minus 11%
Talk about decay ... it looks more like a collapse .. and current listings are all being marked lower .... by a minimum of 5-10% ...
So here's the math .... cost to finance 4% .... price decay 11% .. comissions and other costs to sell ... 7% .... it add's up to 22% to own for one year ..... YIKES! ...real estate prices in CA are going LOWER everyday regardless of loan activity ..... and lenders are less secure everyday .... OUCH!
