"Bay Area companies lost billions in market cap"

There must be a ton of Google employees hired in the last year whose options are now underwater. Those waiting since last year for their first year's worth to vest and buy that big house are out of luck.

L2S - tis true, sales are very slow. My only point is that I'm not seeing any real price reductions in the core valley area.

I'm just reporting what I see at the moment. I'm not a cheerleader for the "valley is different" thesis.

I've just seen several nearby properties go on the market in MP (where I live). Each property is asking the moon, from what I can tell. I'll follow them and see what happens.
