Paying millions for one of those homes is ridiculous and people are finally figuring that out. They are looking to reasonable (for so cal) houses in the $600k to $700k range.
The areas in So. Cal. that lead the bubble have now reverted to 2004 or so pricing, and are headed to 2003 pricing.

That former $664,000 will also go down to where it was worth in 2002/2003. At best.
