The news media is not giving you a full picture of Mt. House

Yes, we have a lot of foreclosures in the area, but if you look at the housing inventory chart below. We had 80 months of inventory last year, but we are down to less than three months now. Houses are selling fast because of the low prices.

Also, Avg home prices in Mt. House have been stabilizing the last three months. Nobody can predict which way the market will go, but home prices are much more affordable now.
