Contest: Predict the Day the OC Median Drops Below $500K
Readers of the blog will try and predict the day that the median price of the Orange County All Homes Median Price as reported by DataQuick will fall below $500,000.
- Readers are to add a comment to this post that includes the date that he predicts the median will drop below 500K and their nickname as they are generally known around the RE blogosphere. (See example prediction in Comments section)
- The reader guessing closest to the actual crossover date (actual event date, not reporting date) will be considered the winner.
- If two or more readers guess the correct day, the reader who entered his guess first/earlier will be considered the winner.
- Readers can revise their guess as many times as they like, but only a reader's last and latest prediction will be considered for purposes of determining if he is a winner.
- Winner will be announced as soon as practical following the $500K median crossover date.
For the hell of it, I'll throw in a Starbucks gift card for the first place winner. If anyone else has a "junk drawer" item they'd like to throw into for a prize, let me know.
