		<description><![CDATA[Redfin has an excellent feature called &#8220;Inventory and Housing Trends.&#8221; The data is city-specific and gives us a good idea of where home prices are heading. The data below is specifically for Arcadia, California and basically supports what we&#8217;ve been stating all along.

		<description><![CDATA[The housing crisis we are facing today is without precedent. Although there have been many housing bubbles in the past, the mess we got ourselves into this time will go into the history books as giant Wall Street financial institutions go from billion-dollar companies to being worth&#8230; nothing.
I have said several times that as potential [...]]]></description>

As a buyer, you were expected to be ready and increase [...]]]></description>
