Surprise...it is still going...


Not much needs to be said here...it is obvious.

Ione 3BD goes for $216K

Here's a place (a foreclosure) in Ione (as opposed to "I rent" - which I think that many will be doing going forward), that appears to have sold for about 31% less than it was bought for in '05. Picked up in the height of the frenzy in 2005 for $310k and recently purchased from SG Mortgage, that is quite a deal lower than when everyone was saying "you need to buy before it is too late".

It is still coming in at about $135/sqft, which seems excessive for prison town, but to each his own or "Ione" as the case may be.
