I’ve lost my faith, at least for Marin County. Despite all reason and rationality to the contrary, I am no longer so sure that Marin County will succumb to a collapsing housing bubble. I’m actually starting to think that somehow Marin (and maybe the Bay Area at large) is not subject to the same laws of economics as everywhere else. Seriously. This contrarian is “throwing in the towel” and capitulating for the present (which must mean the collapse is on the verge of happening).

For some people, the sky is always<\/i> falling, and they refuse to consider that real estate might not fit into their Templates of Doom. In addition to persistent demand for particular locations, home sellers in a buyer’s market are a Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
