A recent study reveals the housing recession may extend to 2025 and beyond.  Many areas may never recover to previous values.  It is thought an entire generation of home buyers could pass before conditions improve.  I'm still thinking about the lady who's post so accurately detailed the "Structur...

A bill has been quietly circulating about Sacramento for the past year or so that would require the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in every home with a fireplace or attached garage.  It was passed by the assembly yesterday and looks as though it will become law very soon.  All governme...

Any idea what county? What state? Come on now, give it your best guess.  This particular county shows over 60% of all real estate sales transactions involve short sale or reo properties.  Many experts are doubting weather the area can ever recover from the current housing recession. http://alturl...

Real estate values have dropped by close to 70% in some areas.  New homes sit vacant and or vandalized.  Residents are fear full for their safety and the Police are on the run from the latino gangs. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hemet30-2010mar30,0,7301923.story http://blogs.laweekly.com/...
