Real estate prices went up for two months in row but unfortunately the Facebook IPO has stopped social IPOs dead in their tracks. The valley is in a funk. One companies greed ruined it all. Already the open houses have way fewer people.
I think prices will retract a bit. Not back to where they were in January which was still not much above 2008, but back from the 25 percent increase from Jan to May. All those hoping to sell in the summer are seeing a marked slow down. Those who bought in May paid too much.
