but seriously - HOPE i'm dead wrong.
they ALWAYS say that, anytime the prime interest rate is reasonable and people start getting loans. I do think there will be a slowdown on new buys and maybe a little fallback in value in the short term, but in Cali the historical trend has been that values skyrocket, then stay stable for a few years, then skyrocket again. They hardly EVER go down.
