49er

Talking about drop in real estate prices, its a shame how so many people, in the Bay Area, have been ruined in the past few months by their dreams of owning a home.  Two years ago these people were waiting in line to buy tract houses for over $700K which for many were two hour commute drives from their work places.  Today some of these same homes are worth less than $300K, and many of them have adjustable mortgages which they cannot make payment on now because rates have gone up


P.C.

That's awful 49er.  Were the places remotely WORTH $700k in the first place ?  That sounds like a problem greater than a drop in real estate prices.

 These are nice homes......3,000 plus sq. ft.  brand new; built in once farmland/orchards and far from job centers;  some with swimming pools; similar size home closer to urban areas would be priced twice as much.  Many of these are planned neighborhoods, family friendly;  families rushed to buy because home prices were appreciating like 20% a year.......feared they could not afford if they waited  

P.C.

What a horrible set-back for these people.

It's the same people probably as this is a Czech Comedy duo from the 70s. The subtitles happen to be in Polish because the Poles apparently love this song, its #1 in their country.
