Exposing the Southern California Housing Numbers and the DQ Special.
DataQuick Numbers and 2007 Examined.

I’ve gotten a few e-mails regarding the recent Southern California DQ numbers. For those of you who do not know, we aren’t talking about Dairy Queen but about real estate data gatherer DataQuick. I’m surprised by a few of the e-mails saying, “hey, what does Dairy Queen have to do with housing!?” I’ll chalk that up to many people not being in one of the few metro areas that the service gathers data on. I’ve gone through the numbers before but this past month was the first month that the significant weakness in housing has showed up dramatically in the median housing price in all Southern California Counties. Now we can go beyond the Real Homes of Genius and realize that the housing decline is now mainstream and significant. First, let us take a cursory look at the data in question and let us dissect it and analyze what is really going on here:
