Real estate poll: Is the worst over?

Recently, the poll-takers amongst you weighed in on how your home values have changed since 2007. One in three said you've lost more than 20 percent in value -- the most popular answer. (The next most popular, picked by 22 percent, was a drop of 5 to 10 percent.)

Now I'm wondering where you see things going. Do you think the worst of the price drops are over? Just like the last poll, you can play along if you're a renter. Just consider the wider neighborhood of homes around you.
