What amazes me isn't that they have all dropped, its that each of those is in a truly shitty location, and yet sold previously for more than half a million (MILLION!) dollars!

I'm actually amazed that the prices haven't dropped more. A lot of the 50%+ price declines seem to be complete tear-downs in less than desirable neighborhoods.
 
It's not just the bad neighborhoods.

http://www.redfin.com/CA/Calabasas/24410-Mulholland-Hwy-91302/home/12096164 Current list price $1 million. Big house, built in 2007, on over an acre. Status address on Mulholland. At least 50% off. Outstanding mortgages are $2 million.



The property history on Redfin isn't quite right. It was originally for sale for over $2 million, became a short sale at $2 million http://realestate.yahoo.com/California/Agoura_Hills/Homes_for_sale/7e1c5e87913eb4c388e991f35a36c4?cc=realestate&p=Agoura Hills, CA&priceHigh;=&priceLow;=&nodeId=750007014&radius;=&bedrooms;=&bathrooms;=&type=foreclosure&sortBy=bth+2 . Then, it continued its descent to $1.4 million, http://realestate.yahoo.com/California/Agoura_Hills/Homes_for_sale/3f53e8ae678fec79a0e2c4192f1fb2?cc=realestate&p=Agoura Hills, CA&priceHigh;=&priceLow;=&nodeId=750007014&sortBy=price 2&radius;=&bedrooms;=&bathrooms;=&type;=&b=41
