They have been the buyers keeping Fannie and Freddie working. The Mortgage Bankers Association has some interesting data that indicates a bit of a bump in the road if/when the Fed's stop buying, as they plan to, early next year. Oh, that's right, Californians pay cash for real estate. So what is going to happen in March 2010 when the Fed’s stop buying mortgage-backed securities… who is going to step up?

But instead of selling their home, they are renting them, thus creating a bit of a rental glut (and an inventory shortage of for-sale homes). Add this to the higher than normal number of investor purchases in the more affordable price ranges and we are heading toward a softer rental market.

My word is "Dan." (Maybe Dan is thinking of buying or selling.) Betty - I am hearing this trend from all corners. I don't think it is an anomaly. CAB - A lot of our clients share your frustration. These are odd times. Kim – Coincidence. My word is “Dan.” (Maybe Dan is thinking of buying or selling.)

If you picked the $500k price point it would be quite a bit more dramatic. I love it that you can actually spell, Kris. Few bloggers understand "wreak."
