The Anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake, it’s always a good time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we are going.
Some people think we are going good places:

The highest percentages for job growth were in San Francisco (45 percent) and Santa Clara County (38 percent).” To read this article, click here.
Some people think we are going bad places: “Bay Area Condominium Sales, Prices Tanking.” (Don’t worry it’s not true, but if you want to read that article anyway, click here.)

If the trends towards urban living are so strong that Cincinnati is on its way up, San Francisco will just get even better! However, there are bound to be bumps along the way. If you or someone you know is experiencing a bump involving real estate, remember that I’m here and ready to help.
