I thought David Crisp said they controlled the market and they would not let the market fall and prices would go up for several years?

Dumbass!

Crisp disputes those who say the boom is ending. Bakersfield has another two or three years before it "levels out," he said.

FWIW, Crisp made that prediction back in Oct 2005 when the article was written, and as the current numbers show, he clearly was a bit delusional on that "2-3 year" estimate...

BTW, I love how Crisp claims to have flipped that house in one day, earning $400k in the process. Doncha love that flipper mentality?

Good news GS - unfortunately here on the coast, the local rag is telling us the fear is over and prices are back on the rise.

Perfect lead in comment by SLO bear. I'm shooting up my latest report and it's the year end report on SLO. What a nasty 2006 and it doesn't look much better for 2007.
