Thank You @Jon Schwartz,  I do understand how interesting of a market Los Angeles really is...I was really nervous about contacting the real estate agent to be honest...but it was such a great step !

I live in Los Angeles (Actually Santa Monica) with our draconian rules on getting people out of buildings and the high costs of buying them out, just curious how this would effect me in Bakersfield/Kern County.

In Los Angeles County, sales rose 34.6% from June, but were down 2.3% from a year earlier.

Anything else is speculation/blue sky and prone for problems.
