Deadline Newsroom Update 2/15/08

Deadline Newsroom Update (Formerly the "Feed") -- California's rejiggered home price forecast is the top news of 2008 so far, but there's much, much more. Take the deal you can get on condos as a second home; house lust; the need for MORE real estate coverage in the media, not LESS! (consumers, sold a diet of trade journal news, apparently are really, really confused about what's really happening in the housing market); a record homeownership rate plunge; trouble in second home markets; and just tons of help for real estate consumers in the mortage morass category. It's all here from the ONLY media outlet where you get ALL the news that REALLY hits home.
