An apology to Hemet and Desert Hot Springs

Reader Dean Gray writes that I owe an apology to Desert Hot Springs for my earlier snarky comment that it’s impossible to sell a house out there right now. He’s right, I do owe an apology.

I wrote, in a post about Ed McMahon’s troubles, ‘If you want to sell a house ... and it is not located in Hemet or Desert Hot Springs, you can sell it.’ That was an unnecessary, and untrue, comment, and I apologize to both Desert Hot Springs and Hemet.

You all know the point I was trying to make -- some of the remote inland housing markets are really struggling right now. But every city or town has its attractions, whether it’s family, a job, peace and quiet or the way the sun sets over the mountains.

Your thoughts? Comments? Feel free to attack the blogger, but let’s lay off Hemet and Desert Hot Springs today, OK?
