The Forecasts in Las Vegas Nevada and Parts of Florida will go down severly, the predictions for las vegas is that the housing market wont pick up till late 2011 or 2012, due to such large growth in little periods of time.

Input anybody?

This is exactly what I've been talking about. 25% of home builders who were building in 2006 are now out of business. Banks are really balking at lending for new construction.

So while there will be a large glut in lots of markets where overbuilding happened, there are other businesses where the downturn hasn't been severe, there will actually be a shortage in many markets beginning in mid-2009 and beyond.

Well,
The Median Home Price in The Bay Area has fallen from $850,000 to $667,000 in 1 year but most analysts dont think it will go down much further, in fact, I think the time to buy is between now and March. For the first time in a year, I suspect the market is going to rebound, perhaps by Spring, then the median home price will rise quite dramatically as the housing market finally catches up with the region's relatively good economy.
