This was bound to happen - It became obvious to me in Feb. when I visited Key West and saw houses that were falling apart-1200 sq.ft boxes selling for a half million dollars. In July I visited San Francisco and nothing could be touched for less than a million. There had to be an adjustment because there are still houses in some parts of this country that are actually selling at reasonable prices.
