Right now, there are perfectly good properties in SF that aren't selling even at a reasonable asking price. No the market hasn't crashed in terms of getting a steal deal in SF - not sure where you are buying boomtime - but the market in SF has definitely plateaued and I think it's heading South slowly. Will it ever get as bad as the rest of the country - no. But it's all relative and relative to what the market was, I think it's bad right now in SF and only getting worse. And no, I'm not a bubblehead. In my opinion, the market was good when even overpriced houses were selling for over-the-asking price.

I am also looking to buy again next Spring, and I love getting a 'deal'. This is one of the best downturns for working people who have cash, b/c we are in a "boom time" now, and people have gotten very rich recently, not just from real estate.

This site tends to highlight the ones that sell over, but most of those are under-priced. I think what the editor is going for here is that the place sold at all. It actually sold pretty quickly and in a time when "the market" was supposed to be reeling from the mortgage crisis. I have to agree with the editor that the market is still really good. And I'm not a Realtor. I'm a buyer, and we're competing on almost every property we write offers on. So it is not fair to point the finger at realtors, I think it'd be better to point the finger at all the people trying to make the market crash and be the ones who can claim they predicted it, when in fact it seems to be doing just fine.

I don't know that those two statements go hand in hand. Also not trying to flame on realtors but they always say the market is good. The most I've heard a realtor say in terms of the market being bad is, "the markets not too bad right now". Seriously. 44K below asking and the market is good?
