The Triple California Housing Threat...
The housing market in California is splintering into various broken segments. In one area, you have lower priced beaten down homes flying off the market like pancakes. Yet in these areas, you have to wonder what will happen once the major discounts and inventory run out? Next, you have mid-priced areas that are selling in low numbers but at relatively stable prices. This is the next market to tank because of the large amount of Alt-A and Pay Option ARMs hovering in those markets. These areas had a stronger buffer because of the structure of the mortgages but make no mistake, they will be coming down. And finally, you have the higher priced regions stalling out.

Is Your House Worth Its Weight In Gold?
There is a chart, very familiar to many, showing the housing bubble, which shows the median house price since 1970, using Case-Schiller national index since 1987 and U.S. Census data 1970-86.
The median house price, nationally, has come down significantly from the top of the bubble, but is still above the long-term trend line support. It can be argued that houses are still overpriced.
However, by one measure, the average house is underpriced. From http://chartoftheday.com we have the median single family home priced in ounces of gold.
