Very well reasoned argument Wayne, I would tend to agree. One of the #1 rules of economics is that prices tend towards the mean, with fluctuations +/-. By that rule, SoCal was certainly due for an adjustment. While I have no doubt that it will not adjust to KS levels of affordability, $750k for a middle-class home is simply not sustainable.

Funny how the bubble markets have affected everyone. We have radio commercials touting "a great time to buy" real estate, despite Wichita's constant 3-6% rate of appreciation. I suppose it has probably made everyone a bit skittish.
