2013 will be grim no matter".. of course, grim defined as living in a state that is anti business and pro union. No matter who wins in 2012, California will be dominated by liberals, creating liberal legislation, appointing liberal judiciary, promoting liberal union organizations.
Of course for others who appreciate liberalism/socialism, the sunny state of California will be heavenly... until the tax revenue is lost from businesses and jobs that will eventually leave to join those that have already left.

Typical Chang, Someone has concerns... someone gives him reality
No matter why, he would rather die, better to hide and flee,
then take a pee on your knee...cowardly is he.

Ms Bobin... please wake up from your sleep. Brown is cutting the California budget with a meat clever... NOW
When the election is over, 2013 will be grim no matter who is in office. This fate was sealed when Liberals such as yourself inexplicably voted for a clueless governor in Jerry Brown. I think you would have been a better governor Ms Bobin, even though you see imaginary people around every corner.

"California is very high risk"
Typical Darrell, doggedly patrols the comments section...
Looking for fresh territory...
To sprinkle his special "brine solution" apon!

Last time I checked (about 15 seconds ago), California was still the 8th largest economy in the world.
Conservatives desire to continually put a damper on a little good news is just astounding.
It's like cheerleading for defeat rather than success.
Darrell Baumbach posted at 9:41 am on Fri, Sep 21, 2012.
To buy a house in California is very high risk. As jobs continue to leave the state because of other states offering greener business pastures, tax revenues to the state will diminish. As tax revenues go down, as jobs go away, so will the demand of housing.
Until California changes it's hostile approach to businesses and considers them a partner instead of entities the public needs to be protected from, why would anyone take the risk to buy here?

It's articles like these make me feel like these "reporters" need to learn a lesson in true reporting. When you write an article, do you ever go past the surface? What about asking those questions that would provide actual information instead of the fluff we regularly see here? Instead of writing about a small inventory and how excited the Lodi Association of Realtors is because it means there's a market upturn, why don't you write about why most houses don't even hit the MLS? Why not write about why the banks are holding onto their inventory? Why not ask about all of the vacant homes all over Lodi that haven't hit the market after months of being vacant? Why not ask the "tough questions" and provide the citizens with answers instead of this...[thumbdown]

Are you kidding me? OF COURSE THE INVENTORY IS SMALLER!!!!! The banks are holding on to their foreclosures and not releasing the "inventory" so they can make their money back. Additionally, any time a house goes for auction, an investor gets it, waters the lawn, slaps a coat of paint on it, and (maybe) puts some junky carpeting in there and they jack the price up $100K for a listing that screams "Not a Short-Sale or REO". Anyone ever wonder where all those "cash buyers" are coming from? They are not just "rich" investors, they are mostly real estate agents who made a ton of money jacking up the prices the first time around, coming around a second time and picking off the inventory before the public gets a chance to bid on it. Most houses don't even hit the MLS system because the listing agent already has a buyer. Talk about a racket.
