Default RE: prices going down

I live in Florida and houses arent selling when a year ago they would sell in days. Home owners insurance and property taxes that have risen exponentially are forcing people to move out of state. Im talking 5-7k for taxes and another 3-4k for ins. Fuel prices that have shot up since the storms. Unemployment that is on the rise. Maybe its just a regional issue than national.

Very good points were made on market saturation. I tend to stay away from dealers amap. Ive been seeing 02 dynas w/5k miles going for 8k when you had to wait 6 months to get one and paid through the nose.

I still see allot of bikes in the local Photo Ad/Trade Express for over MSRP but they're not moving I see the same bikes week after week.I think it's just a tough time of year to sell motorcycles even in CA it's getting colder, rain may be just around the corner, Christmas is comming and taxes after that.The first of the year the minimum wage goes up to 7.50hr and that has allot of buisinesses nervous.Not that I think the economy is in trouble I think people are just holding off on buying $15,000 toys for awhile.

Hmm, Glad I live where I do then. Housing market has slowed but is still pretty strong. Jobs are plentiful. I guess the heartland is better then people think.
