If it's not "the top", it might as well be. Your friend will be upside-down for on that mortgage for years starting this year or next. The only way he'll be able to sell that house is if he pays off his mortgage first with extra tens of thousands HE brings to the sale table. Inventory is rising rapidly in S. Cal., and foreclosures are skyrocketing.

Depending where you are, the top was some time in the last 6 months. The indicators lag. Builders offer incentives rather than cut prices for a time, which artificially holds up selling prices.
Here in bubbleland FL, inventory is 4 times last year this time. Due, in part to Speculators exiting the game.

I know a first-time homebuyer who's about to get a 1,600ft2 townhouse for $570K. I can't imagine what's going to happen if today represents "the top."

He's going to be upside down with his mortgage like some people were after the last 'top'. And yeah, he's definitely buying at the top. I hope he knows it.
