OK I accept 60% in the bubble areas.
What of non bubble areas?
My house if it was in CA (if one could find such a thing would probaly 2 million or so. 4 million? who knows). Here is is not even a third of that lower figure. OK is the desirability of CA that greater than here? Perhaps it is (or was at the margin). If my house doubled in the last three years it would be long gone. I doubt it has gone up 15%. If I gave back that 10-15% and another 10% on top of it, I would just assume not bother moving. Now if I was for some reason at some point forced to sell at some point then declines could easily exceed that giveback. I do not anticipate being forced to sell. Then again no one ever does.

I think the giveback here will be 10-25% here and in the bubble areas 40-60% with condos most assuredly at the top end of the range. In general I expect a long slow decline intereupted by a few sharp declines and a couple of false small rises. At the bottom there will be no talk of buying investment properties or second homes.
