We’re up to 292 responses to last week’s survey, thank you readers!

Here are some of the comments:

I know prices are never going to be as low as I would like because of demand and bank and government collusion but I would appreciate it if Jim could focus more on properties that don’t require someone to make 250K+ a year. As a first time home buyer I would love to see more videos showing some glimmer of hope for being able to afford a home.

I’ll make an effort to include a wider range of price-points.  For those looking to spend less than $400,000, the need to compromise is very demanding.  Consider these three: buying a fixer, going further out, or living with something smaller, possibly a condo.  The chance of you finding a decent house, in a decent area, under $400,000 around North County Coastal is remote, at best.

Could there be further market deterioration in the future?  Yes, and it would likely be a result of squishdown from above.  Bubbleinfo.com will help you see any potential erosion in the mid-to-upper-end market that could benefit those below.

Here are the results of the bubbleinfo survey. These counts and graphs are from the first 239 people, and we’re now up to 276!  (I thought we might have 50!)

Thank you everyone for participating – I will comment on some of the great suggestions later:

I remarked in the last radio show that I don’t have much of a feel for the audience, given the anonymous nature of blogging and the internet.  I am fine with it being anonymous, I don’t need to know who you are - but I’d like to get more input about what you want from bubbleinfo.com.

The previous survey asked for comments in general – this one has multiple-choice questions.

Can you complete my survey please?  There is no obligation (no registration required), and it should only take two minutes:
