Yes, Las Vegas real estate went hyperbolic, but when they're building McMansions by the subdivision in suburban Idaho, the bubble has gone national. There may have been some ghost towns in North Dakota that were not affected, but I think it's safe to say that most metropolitan centers were impacted; the question now is which areas will recover, and how quickly.Peripheral Visionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489447120517274000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-69795817390854853542009-08-24T23:22:10.373-07:002009-08-24T23:22:10.373-07:00Hmmn anal canaries..... y'know I bet Akubi has...Hmmn anal canaries..... y'know I bet Akubi has a picture of that somewhere..... with fishnets1.44MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07339526763323998325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-84515250320230920912009-08-24T19:58:49.544-07:002009-08-24T19:58:49.544-07:00According to Radar, the thermometer up the ass doe...According to Radar, the thermometer up the ass doesn't even register when your bladder is bigger than a cricket ball.

The overbuilding of high end homes that will most likely never sell is staggering. If they do sell it is going to drive the previous nice areas farther down.

That's doubleplusgood. It tells us about the regional economy and it decants the froth of the carnage "down below." <br /><br />The fact that there are multiple and falling price vacancies in Wrightwood tells me that there is no floor for now.
