The average home price in California is impacted by homes in areas like San Francisco, Silicon Valley, the myriad of pricey beach communities... the OC, LA and Beverly Hills.  Those places have nothing to do with wherever it is that you live... I don't even think they have anything to do with reality as a whole.

Recently, I was talking to a Realtor in Southern California. He was positive that his home had gone up in value over the last year, after reading all the press reports about home values having risen. He told me his home would appraise for $550,000.

The appraisal came in at $435,000.

Another homeowner in Northern California. Last year, his home appraised for $600,000. He assumed that this year it would be worth even more... and maybe he would have been right and it would have gone up some... except that the house next door went into foreclosure and is now sitting vacant.

Today's appraised value... $525,000.
