can you imagine owning a new home in these neighborhoods? I'd want to burn down the sales office

Wow! This is really a full-scale meltdown. Keep up the good work Keith.

I better start saving my pennies in gold bullion for the coming recession

Well.... if you can't sell your home, you certainly can't buy the next one!

So if you want to sell your home in LA and go to Sacramento, Pheonix, Idaho, Oregon..... TOUGH because your home is dead in the water.... the effect the other places like Sacramento are dead in the water too!

THE TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT IN FULL FORCE!!!! GREAT! Its about time!

What is preventing buyers from purchasing homes????


[Gordon is rooting for today's first-time buyers. Several have shown interest in her home, but none has made an offer.

***"It wasn't because the people weren't interested, or because of the price," Gordon said, "it was qualifying" for the loan that held them back.***]

Some homeowners in sacramento still do not think that their homes are over priced. While their home state is about to implement a 40 year loan with no money down!

I think someone needs to dig deeper and find out exactly what these houses have been selling for recently. Also, what have previous promotions included and have extras been gutted from these new "sale" houses. This company is probably trying to convince the marginal buyer that the bubble has already popped... hey look at these reductions, come buy now.

The reason these homes are so cheap is this community is in the middle of nowwhere with NO commercial shopping around it. The two closest cities are Linda and Wheatland. Two hell holes. I think Linda is the Meth capital of the world.

If you were selling those in my neighborhood (Sonoma County, CA), they'd be purchased immediately.

Those houses would go for a 110% increase here in Q4 2005 at least.

You would laugh at what I was able to sell for $560K.

(Marin County has us beat though.)

Not surprising. There was the one magazine article about Toll being undervalued, and another article this morning in the WSJ about the entire sector being undervalued.

Barrons (normally has a lot of negative articles) was bullish on TOLL and long term rates are starting to drift down again. I think these companies will see very little positive news in the coming year, however.

This ad was for real.
I called the number and spoke with Karen of DR Horton. She said that a thousand people showed up to get the sale price.
