I did some more digging into the bay area. I think the bay area have detached itself in the last 20 years. There’s some detachment of Cupertino as well. But this data shows that bay area wasn’t always crazy priced. Here’s some examples:
Some very interesting data IMHO from the last 20 years. I wonder where we go from here.
Will Cupertino and CV continue their trajectory? If so, 20 years from now the Cupertino house would be ~$21M and the Carmel Valley house would be ~$3.4M. My opinion of the bay would be very different in 1996 than it is today.
