		<description>Michael,

Great post. As a Realtor in the North San Diego area I agree with you that there are buyers out there and not a great selection of inventory. 

Although I agree with Steve that the lower inventory is effected the most (I wrote 9 offers for a client on homes around the $200,000 before getting one accepted due to multiple offer situations), in my opinion it also extends into the mid-priced homes. The selection is just not great enough and buyers are frustrated. 

Another big problem is lenders. The next wave of foreclosures will likely hit the high-end market (Rancho Santa Fe, Olivenhain and pricey homes over $750,000). This will present an opportunity for people in the mid-range homes who retained equity to move up, just as the price reductions on the mid-range homes have given first time buyers and renters the opportunity to move into neighborhoods they could not afford just a few years ago. But lenders will have to relax their death grip and start lending again if our housing market is to ever improve.

Walking away from mortgages is a scary issue as well, and the more people that walk away, the less likely the lenders will be to release money for loans. Yet those who are struggling can&#039;t get the lenders to negotiate modifications! Short sales are even worse, but hopefully the new short sale legislation will improve that It a dire situation and the Feds have been trying to stimulate the lenders, but progress has been slow.

If we are to get this economy stimulated we need to address these issues, otherwise things will just get more difficult, in my opinion.</description>

		<description>All you points are extremely valid and well received. My only argument to point #1 is that the real estate market could not recover due to interest rates being in the high teens. This had a huge effect in decreasing the purchasing power of the middle class. I believe it is highly unlikely that will ever happen again.</description>
