Jim,, we are seeing that here in PDX as well... and I am good with a market that does not have multiple offers.. it makes it very hard for people and agents to make a living if you only have a 1 in 10 shot of buying the house you want..so some stability and slowing down in my mind is a good thing.but what I see on BP is people read the hyperbole articles that misquote things.. and the next thing you know they are worried its 2008 all over again.. which ( and I could be wrong of course) but none of my bankers or those in know in finance world think is a risk.. only risk would be metros losing major employment.. then it affects everyone landlords businesss and prices..
