I've lost about $140,000 in my home value, no one seems to be running my
way to compensate me for my loss.

Hell. my house is down about $300,000 from it's top market value.

Is that the real value or just what some fool might have paid in the
middle of the bubble?

I could have sold my house for $750k but I was never confused that it
was really worth that much.

Real estate out in the Bay area is an extreme. You don't get much out
there for $500k

Actually there is a lot here for less than $500k that are in nice areas.
My area has houses for $600k, and we are one of the more upscale areas in
the Bay Area.

I can show you a house that is by no means anything special in Pleasant
Hill that the owner has been approached by buyers willing to shell out
$400k for that is in a mediocre neighborhood, is 35 years old, and as is
every house in the area, has a yard the size of a postage stamp. Here it
would be worth little more than $100k. Showed people from there houses
for sale here, and they were amazed.
