CA has been cracked for at least a year.
I've written this before. Houses in my area that sold in 48 hours for 500K 18 months ago, can't get an offer at 440K today. Many places are listed in the low 400's now. And many ARM/io loans haven't adjusted yet... I can't wait to see the foreclosure numbers in a few months.
I heard the number of foreclosures in Riverside county increased by 120%.
Everybody that could fog a mirror already has a home loan and the flippers are getting toasted.
