<p>Lynchburg, VA still holding up well with no decline yet. High end looks weak though outside the city where lots of new mcmansions are going up.</p>
<p>I keep waiting for home prices to decline in Berkeley but it never happens. :(</p>
<p>There’s a reason why most of the foreclosures are out somewhere beyond Stockton.</p>
<p>barrons–so true. I was in Stockton a few weeks ago and wow–block after block with at least half the houses with for sale signs on the lawn. Really spooky, since our area (near Stanford) does not yet seem to be affected; who knows if it will be, or how hard.</p>
<p>Yep.</p>
<p>I would rather own an old, 1,200 sq. ft house in Berkeley than a new, 3,000 sq. ft house in Stockton.</p>
