Real Estate in 6 lines or less

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Here’s this week’s real estate news in six lines or less… hope you enjoy.

SF bay area foreclosure activity is dropping, in fact, 10% fewer foreclosures are on the market. However, not all US cities are so lucky…Florida’s media home price is at $144,000, and is predicted to hit bottom still. In other news, going green gains momentum as prices for a new solar system have dropped as much as 10% not including government backed rebates like the ones CA offers.  And finally, even in the great recession you can still own the boardwalk.

Happy Friday!
