I think the sales will stale and the price will come down. Just think of how the renters vs the mortgagers fare in this situation. The renter can just get another apartment where as the mortgagers have to deal with the consqeuences. With rents so much lower than a mortage payment, it doesn't make sense to buy.

Check out Oakland real estate in the areas that were burned in the Oakland fires. People have short memories.

It won't affect prices. You'll just see stricter building codes, like Laguna Beach enacted after its devastating fire back in 1994. On one street just one home was left standing. It was designed by a Japanese architect who had fire prevention in mind. A lot of his design innovations are now in Laguna's code.
