jabrwoki: The real interesting thing is the disconnect that Peninsula pricing has with areas like Napa and Sonoma counties, and other parts of the Bay Area (South San Francisco comes to mind). I have been keeping an eye on Napa and Sonoma, because I’d like to get some property up there, and Sta. Rosa, Sonoma, and parts of Napa are definitely dropping, and fast. Even San Francisco itself is starting to see a weakening in demand, and thusly pricing. But LAH, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Los Gatos et al keep right on accelerating.

I do remember after the dot.bomb that parts of Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Sta. Clara went into the tank, but they have rebounded strongly.

Is there where I put a shout out to Lewis Carroll?

BobS: As I’m sure Raptor will tell you, areas like Palo Alto and Los Altos are very different than what you find down here. Call it the “Google effect” or the “Apple effect”, but prices are remaining stubbornly high, and houses continue to move, even at those prices.

I have friend that lives in Los Altos, and he is telling me stories about 16,000sf lots in LAH going for $2MM.

I don’t doubt that the market will come down, but it will probably take much longer than San Diego, OC or LA.

marion: Since TG is undoubtedly waiting to pounce on me if I wander too far astray, I will keep my response brief. I’m working, which also sucks.

Sorry to hear about the moving. Never an enjoyable experience, even under the best of circumstances. Significant quantities of booze definitely helps, as I am sure some of our more debauched colleagues would agree.

marion: I think we’re getting somewhat off topic here. You’re treating this as an ad hominem attack on all women, and I don’t think that is what anyone is saying. Everyone has horror stories about men and women and relationships (especially marriages) gone bad, and the resultant damage.

Getting back on point, the advice offered here was to be careful, and make sure you know what you are getting in to. Dude in question is asking for advice on some fairly weighty issues, and advising caution on anything that could potentially cost you 50% of everything is totally fair.
