Comments on: Did San Francisco Real Estate Just Hit the Bottom? http://www.lubasf.com/blog/did-san-francisco-real-estate-just-hit-the-bottom.php The Friendliest Blog about San Francisco Real Estate Fri, 19 Feb 2010 20:51:35 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Luba http://www.lubasf.com/blog/did-san-francisco-real-estate-just-hit-the-bottom.php/comment-page-1#comment-1668 Luba Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:22:08 +0000 http://www.lubasf.com/blog/did-san-francisco-real-estate-just-hit-the-bottom.php#comment-1668 Here's the thing John. Your generalization that REALTORS are all corrupt is about as true as saying that all guys named John like to generalize entire groups of people. Here's the crazy thing - <b>I AGREE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS AND THAT ON SOCKETSITE!!!</b> Guess you didn't catch the part of the above post that says that "prices [are] at levels more affordable than they’ve been in years" which put us EASILY in line with Socketsite's analysis that the price of this particular home is at or about a 2004 price level. Do I think the person that bought this home is happy about it? Yes. Do I think there are plenty other buyers out there that will be hapy to buy homes at "levels more affordable than they've been in years"? Hell yes. I'm seeing the buyers come out to take advantage of the lower prices. I'm sorry if that makes me a "corrupt" REALTOR. My clients will vouch that I have never pushed them into buying property and in fact, have told some people that they need to hold off before they buy for a variety of reasons. While prices have in no way shape or form rebounded to the level they would have been at had the housing bubble never burst, and sales volume hasn't increased where anyone feels comfortable saying that we're out of the woods just yet, I can say that from what I'm seeing, there are people out there ready, willing and able to buy and take advantage of lower prices and lower rates. And there are more of them out there than we have seen in months. The title of the post - it's meant to get your attention, not state a fact. Guys it worked. :wink: Here’s the thing John.
