So “THEY” are saying that we have not seen that many foreclosures in a long time!!! THEY should verify their numbers – yes nationwide and if we look a the average, prices dropped by a lot ..And foreclosures are the new “talk around the town”, but we need to look at each area as a market by itself and what are the numbers.

I am in the Palm Springs area and even if I am two hours away from San Diego or Los Angeles, the markets are different and the numbers are different.

This why on my website: www.claudinereal.com I have a page bringing up on a monthly basis the real estate numbers for the Desert Cities, and this is what you should look at and compare whether you are interested in buying or in selling. Let’s compare apples to apples!

Of course there are deals to be made, of course prices came down from two years ago, of course we see some foreclosures but it is not as bad as THEY make sound (THEY of course is the media)

So set your goals:

• Your budget
• Your timeframe
• Your needs
• Are you buying because it is a deal or because it is time for you to buy (for retirement, for a second home, for relocation purposes or more other reasons)?

I love Real Estate and I love speaking about Real Estate, I know Real Estate and I am informed. It is always “a good time” to talk to me and my blog is making this much easier now…

So I am waiting for your comments….
