i cannot remember if i see this in some other thread of yours, it says, next year around march is a good time to shop for house. i guess it depends on which city you are in, right?

how can i get a better picture about local market? say, in souther california, even the market dropped a little, but i guess the bubble is still huge?? ppl are still afraid that the market will keep going down. is there anyway i can get a more solid idea about the market? local newspaper? talking w/ agent? can you trust them?

thanks for any input
