Found a 2900 sqft home that went off the market in hmb for 1.1M buyer will accept 1.05M. Was originally listed at 1.55 and is new construction never lived in. Is this a good time to buy considering that I will also be selling. Only 500,000 into my place with a 300,000 balance on mortgage. Have a 1050 sqft home in hmb.

Can you do some of this with the 3 tiers separate?

The rest of the graphs have markers with different shapes. I love to see graphs of trends like this, especially since I am thinking about purchasing a house in the SF Bay Area.

Try differnt colors completely (eg. burnt orange, lavender, sky blue, and lime green); or use broken lines (dashes) and solid lines. Thanks. Hey, here’s a little tip:

As you'll see we still have a ways to fall... We'll be very close to a 50% deline by Nov 2009.
