Report from Santa Monica bubbleland
by Miro on the FOOL

DW and I visited three open houses today just to get a feel for what's going on the area. At two of them we were the only people there and at one only 4 other people had walked through after two hours of the open house.

Observations:

Just reduced from $969k to $925k (this had four prospective buyers walk by the time we came showed up)

Another house had fallen out of escrow three weeks before ($1.25m). Agent quote, "I can't believe no one's bought this house."

Another was a trust conservatorship sale with escrow having fallen through a week before because the buyer's own house had fallen out of escrow. Realtor said there was room for negotiation. ($1.05m)

The agents seemed genuinely discouraged. It has definitely slowed down around here.
