I am in the Seattle area and have not noticed a considerable drop in prices.

If you can't find plexes on Realtor.com, you just have to use the drop down feature called "property type".

Oddly, prices are being held steady in my market because the drop in demand has been met with a higher drop in supply.  

However, about 3 months ago, my parents dropped the ball on us that my father (previously having about $3million in savings) has only $10k left in savings after the business he has been investing in over the last 6 years has almost lost him everything.

They ultimately dropped the case and the place is in limbo.

I read a news article that the Vegas utility providers encourage customers to sign up for "smart" thermostats that allow the utility provider to adjust your home's temperature.

But if the market drops, which in my mind is at least as likely, I think it will drop by more than that.So just in my thinking (I could very well be wrong of course), the risk/reward ratio has tilted in favor of holding back and seeing what happens.

All the floor boards are swollen from pet droppings and theres a stench from it along with her being an indoor smoker.

Having seen my retirement portfolio go through a terrible drop during the 2008 financial crisis I wanted a way to diversify my retirement portfolio.

If prices drop, it will not be in the immediate term.
