Is there a specific website or list you need to join to get access? The home prices in the Alhambra/Arcadia/Monterey Park area are still pretty high and they don't seem to be letting up. I want to see if there is an impending storm of defaults come up in those areas too. I was wondering how are you able to see all that information about the Pasadena area?

At this point the decision has been more emotional. Both my husband and I went to college, have good jobs, good credit scores, money saved, and we feel like it's time to have our own home. We have so many friends that live well beyond their means who have homes and a part of us thinks it sucks that we still don't own a home when people like them do. That said, you are probably right. We should wait. Anyone got the inside scoop on renting a cute house in Pasadena? The place we are in feels like it gets smaller everyday. Ruby- You are so right.

I work at an Assessor's office (won't say which one) and the home prices are plummenting. After reviewing transfers it appears most are from home owner no bank (REO). In my opinion I think there will be a 25% drop this year. And possibly another 15-20% drop next year. Hold onto your money. I agree whats been said.
