Housing prices around here have dropped significantly. The average price of a house in a decent neighbourhood in June was about 1.3 million dollars for an older small family home. Now you can get the same place for about 900K. The interesting thing is how many houses in the 2 to 3 to 5 million dollar range are on the market at the moment. You would think that those folks wouldn't have to sell in a shit market. However, who knows what evil lurks in the portfolios of men.
