i believe you are correct

If you go to zillow, search the area that you want make zillow send you alerts of price changes amd every month their estimate. I put like 60 houses that i am looking to and they go down 1-2 % only a couple go up and those were all in the redlands (over 350k houses)...the ones around 70-130k are still going a little bit down. But if you get a good price then buy it, even if it goes down it wont be much, and if you buy, buy because you dont want to waste money on rent and something fo4 yourself. I am looking to buy in homestead for 70-100k new houses though, the old ones are really bad and in bad neighborhoods, and new ones are with association. So that only leaves less than 10% of houses in homestead. Thats my advice. Oh, dont buy if you are buying thinking you will make money in 5 to 10 years, because it wont go up like it did before....

I have been researching the same area for over 6 months and have the same conclusion. I use realtor.com and save homes as well as get homes sent to me daily for comparrison. True words...
