For me, I haven't noticed any price in my particular hood of the Bay Area. In fact,  we still get mailed closed offers from neighbors selling well above last year's asking price from agents. (sorry editted, poor engrish on my part)

guess there are too many google gzillionaires 🙂

Seriously though, employment is pretty strong in NorCal right now.

So is the yahoo layoff just an isolated blip? The Bay Area is pretty diversified but a recession will impact all the companies (Cisco, Apple etc.), and you have to figure the first thing to go in a a downturn is advertising (so google as well).

Yahoo is one screwed up company. (Don't ask me how I know, but I do..) In a perfect economy, they would still have trouble. In fact, if they laidoff 1/2 of the employees, I don't see that the company would suffer.

As far as the bay area. There's plenty of startups small and large, and plenty of inflow vc money into these startups. Where else is vc going to invest in these days?

Doing a comparable job search on something like hotjob (not that hotjob is that great)

i get 64 hits here in san diego

I get 640+ hits in the bay area.

Which tech industry in which location will evaporate first? You tell me.
