Renowned for his ability to forecast long-term real estate market trends and timing, the release of The California Comeback in 1997 gained him much notoriety and its accuracy of the extensive report led many California investors to financial freedom. His January 2006 release, The California Crash, is an in-depth look into the California market correction and the statistics behind Bruce’s predictions. His latest award winning report, Category 5, goes into great detail why Bruce isn’t ready to call California Comeback 2 and what the real estate community should expect in the coming two years as the market continues its correction.
