San Juan losing it

From listing: THIS IS A NICE patio home. Owner has taken good care of the property. All tile floors. Nice oversized patio with overgrown plants. Direct access garage to kitchen, plus extra parking space. Great location in the village. Come take a look, you won't be dissapointed !

So, this property could use a bit of redecorating. It also could use a photographer who made sure the towel was off the towel rack before snapping the photo. Details, details...

Redfin says this property last sold for $460,000 in 2006 for the stupidly high price of $430/sq ft. Now, the asking price is at $187/sq ft.

Assuming the property can actually be sold for the current asking price, it would mean a 57% drop from the peak, not including any sales costs. Redfin also says the property sold for $400,000 in 2004, so that means it's just about an even 50% off from that.

The real estate industry should be recovering now. What's taking us so long to reach the bottom and start going up again? Thanks for sharing a great article here. By the way, I know a great Kentucky home that might interest you too. Thanks.
