FOR SALE SIGNS ABOUND IN MANY NEIGHBORHOODS.

Many subdivisions have For Sale signs popping up like mushrooms after a summer rain...

It seems that many people have finally decided to accept $350,000 for the house they paid $125,000 for ten years ago...

But alas, it may be a case of too much, too late in the cycle... After all, Everyone can't head for the exits at once.

Many landlords I know have given up trying to get tenants for their properties; and are just letting the property sit empty...

Or worse, they are doing long overdue "improvements" and upgrades presumeably to attract tenants---or more likely a buyer for the property...

I compare this to a person who can't find a job...so they go back to graduate school!

The amazing thing about the house bubble is not that it's deflating...but that it lasted so long
