The
growth of prior years has come to an abrupt end and this year is on pace for the largest yearly price drop on record (in both nominal & real terms). This comes despite continued job gains and historically low mortgage rates as price growth could not sustain prior levels due to extremely poor affordability as during the prior Southern California market bubble. Consequently, nominal and real prices should be expected to decline towards the historic level of mortgage debt servicing cost.
