April 18, 2008 at 10:01 pm ET San Diego employment has just decreased on a year-over-year basis, falling by 1,700 jobs between March 2007 and March 2008.

April 4, 2008 at 12:46 am ET Hello all -- look for a data rodeo this weekend. In the meantime, a brief writeup on March resale prices is available at voiceofsandiego.org.

From Piggington's Econo-Almanac - view blog entries - visit this blog
April 1, 2008 at 12:51 am ET For years, people claimed that because San Diego was such a desirable place to live, local real estate was immune to price declines. We know how that turned out. Yet these days that same argument ... (more) Tuesday, March 25, 2008 January Case-Shiller HPI (6 clicks)

March 17, 2008 at 7:37 pm ET As with the data quasi-rodeo, I'm going to be light on verbiage and just update the charts for this month whilst applying a liberal interpretation of the term "extravaganza."

March 11, 2008 at 2:29 pm ET Because I'm travelling I am just going to present some charts this month with a minimum of editorializing.

From Piggington's Econo-Almanac - view blog entries - visit this blog
March 7, 2008 at 8:55 pm ET Both median-based price indicators were thoroughly abused last month.
