Temecula and Murrieta Housing Market
I recently wrote a blog on the Temecula housing market. I feel that the Temecula and Murrieta housing market will not be affected as much if there is a double dip recession as many of the other US cities. The doomsday'ers are scaring away potential buyers in our Market, which has already dropped from 50% to 70%. The general news that comes out about housing is subjective to each individual real estate market. So if a news line says that housing prices dropped 5%, people think Temecula housing prices are dropping, when in fact it may be the opposite. It is just interesting how people's minds works.There is not too much more room to decline. How do my fellow local agents feel?BTW: blog is blog.skylarlewis.com
