I checked into the numbers ... the numbers should be adjusted by CPI less shelter (adjusting by CPI overstates the real loss). If you make that adjustment, California lost 26% in real terms and the decline lasted 6 years (1991 until Q1 1997) and then started to recover.

The person you are talking with is flat out wrong. I owned my current home during that period, and I remember being stunned at the selling price of the house across the street in '96. It was grim for sellers (Obviously it didn't impact me).

Best Regards!
