I've seen some slowing in sales at some levels of the market, but overall I can honestly say the market is still quente! It is still a good time to get in the market if you are a buyer, and a good time to get out if you are a seller. If you are selling your place in San Francisco and looking to buy another place here, expect competition. On the other hand, if you are selling a home here in San Francisco, and buying in one of the "red" states you should be able to afford a castle. Maximum overbid of the week**: 410 Diamond in Eureka Valley. Two bedroom, one bath, one car parking. Approx. 800 square feet, only $1066 per square foot, asking $599,000, sold for $853,000. Think of it like going to McDonald's, ordering a plain hamburger, and buying the franchise. You're banking on the future.
