California's new-home market doldrums is nearing its nadir, the California Building Industry Assocation announced this morning. The trade group based its statement on the the slowing pace of year-over-year sales declines. Still, the numbers aren't pretty. Sales fell more than 48 percent statewide in March compared to the same month last year. In Bakersfield (which typically includes all of Kern County for most studies) they dropped about 41 percent. The silver lining in those numbers, the BIA's release says, is that they're better than last month's year-over-year drop of 57 percent. You can read the release here and access a chart with localized figures. You can also download the PDF chart by clicking on the blue box in the upper left of this post. What do y'all think...is this figure enough to call "bottom" for the Golden State?   -- Gretchen Wenner, staff writer
