A house in my neighborhood just sold for $350k. Lowest price I've seen in 6 years.

Market isn't done yet. Winter this year and Jan/Feb next year. You'll see little peaks here are there, but it's far from done.

SoCal (along with several other cities/areas) has been classified as high risk. You need at least 20% even be looked at by a lender these days.

The house across the street sold last year for $256k. Right now the houses in my area are going for $150-160k.

Over by my mom the houses have dropped even further. There is a 2600sq ft house, custom, selling for $250k and has been vacant for 6 months. Last year it would have been snapped up for $500k.

As a person wishing to purchase a home (without having to sell one), this is all good news.

The rental market is becoming tighter as people have to move out of their homes. Still super sucky

Yup. The housing market is dropping because loan money has tightened up so less people can buy a home plus there are all the people getting foreclosed on. Guess where they all go? That's right. Into the rental market. More demand means higher prices.
