Adjusted Real Estate Prices Make Now the Time to Buy

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The silver lining of today's
economic climate is that home prices have returned to levels consumers thought
they'd never see again. Even some of the country's most recognized and iconic
locations are not immune to this new market reality. Evidence of this has been
seen in Hollywood, California, where prices have adjusted to the point where
buyers who were previously "priced out," now have the opportunity to own in
this prime location. For example, The Lofts @ Hollywood and Vine, a collection
of singular full-ownership residences recently reduced their prices by over
40% in some cases.

"Prospective buyers have an amazing opportunity to invest in a prime location
for an unbeatable price," said Jay Hartman at Paladin Realty - the owners of
the iconic 1929 building. "We have adjusted our prices to compete in the
marketplace and have been pleased with the response thus far. Buyers who
thought they could never own in this "Modern Classic" are finding the Lofts @
Hollywood and Vine very affordable."

About half of the 60 units have been sold since The Lofts opened in 2007, but
over the past month a noticeable increase in traffic and interest has been
seen. "The recent activity that we've experienced is a direct response to the
new pricing," said Rick Amor, sales agent at The Lofts.  "The Lofts begin in
the mid $300's and range from 850-2,000 square feet - an amazing deal for the
building's central location."
