California real estate recovery still years off

According to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. report released last week, California home prices and sales volumes will also slide into 2009, while some areas of the state experience an even more prolonged downturn.

Jack Kyser, chief economist of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp, said:
"The housing pains there will remain, probably until 2010."
The statewide median home price last month was down about 17 percent from a year earlier and 5 percent from December, according to DataQuick Information Systems. The statewide median price peaked last spring.
In San Diego, most insiders will agree that the top of the housing market was the summer of 2005.
