Being primarily a buyers agent in the North San Francisco bay with a focus on Napa Valley I am seeing more investors entering the market on the extreme low end and the flood of 1st time buyers continues. What I fear is the slight bump in the HPI will be akin to the auto industry cash for clunker program that has produced a short lived government primed bump in auto sales only to fall flat when the government program ends. So I wouldn't be surprised to see the downward trend continue once we hit "back to school" season. If so this will present continued opportunity for 1st time buyers and investors. Tim,

I appreciate the honesty in the post, as the significance of this little bump will be impossible to determine until a few months from now. Thanks for the post Tim.
