Not so fast. Not all markets are equal.

I’m in the process of crunching new numbers for Oakland. For now, here are two reports - - on Daly City and San Carlos. They’re very outdated; I suspended such research after summer ‘07. Anyhow, these demonstrate how a traditionally strong market, like San Carlos, was weathering the increasingly uncertain real estate scene better than a vunerable market like Daly City. (Given how things only worsened, it’s rather scary to consider the extent of Daly City’s inventory buildup at the time.)

When you hear about the 30, 40 percent price corrections in the Bay Area, I guarantee that’s no reference to our most desirable locales.

Another two articles from my archives: one for pet owners, another emphasizing how all real estate is local. I’m not one to coo “location, location, location!” But I must admit….it’s true. (See next post…)

Subpriming like it’s 2007

Here’s a piece I dug from my archives. With some perspective now, how much of it proved prescient? This is a year old; talk about regulatory inaction.

Things are finally up and running! I’ve retained a few elements from my old site…but am starting mostly with a clean slate, a blog-centric approach to keep things current&relevant.

The next few postings are a glimpse of things to come. They’ll include assorted conversations from my world - - read in print or heard around the office. They’ll include original analyses, often my own.

Thanks for visiting. Come back often.

Under construction…
