Up here working in San Jose this week, The only place more boring than the San Fernando Valley (looks very similar as well) and more expensive than Carmel Valley.

The place seems to have more available buildable land than South West RC as well.

Until recently anyway home prices have actually been going up here most of the last year or so.

It’s all about Job’s my friends, If there are good paying Job’s about, RE goes up to where the highest bidder can afford, and the more money you make the more money that can be available for housing (food and everything else being about the same for everyone).

Maybe the statement about applies to a lot of SD as well ???

That’s just my observation anyway.

Good luck.

Oh come now, how could you not like the Bay Area. Your obviously not barking up the right places. San Jose does blow, but travel up north my friend. Rent a convertible and take a nice trip up to Napa or Mendicino.
