San Francisco Home Sales Data – August 2007
So it’s officially September now. Indian Summer is in full force here in the City, the Labor Day weekend is here and August sales data is officially available! People are always asking me how the market is doing and I am always more than happy to talk about it (in fact, San Francisco real estate is one of my favorite things to talk about – yes! I love my job!), but most times, numbers speak louder than words. So I’ve decided to add a new monthly feature to my blog!

To Rent or Not to Rent – That is the Question!
Rents in San Francisco are (surprise) on the rise! As less people qualify for loans due to the tighteninig restrictions in the mortgage industry (restrictions that I agree with wholeheartedly), more people need to rent, rent, rent their homes in San Francisco. And what happens with supply & demand? As demand goes up, supply goes down, and prices skyrocket.
