Comment Du Jour: Oh Noe, Where Will You Be In 2 Years?
From “Seb” on “Noe Valley Is Not Immune”: Where do people think Noe [Valley real estate] prices will be in two years? Up or down? I sense things are stabilizing.

In two years…crystal ball is a little bit … Continue reading Comment Du Jour: Oh Noe, Where Will You Be In 2 Years?

Comment du Jour: “A Tide Going Back To The Ocean”
This from “asad” on “An Interesting Sale and Theory“.

Comment du Jour: Things aren’t so bad (relatively speaking)
From “44yo Hipster” in yesterday’s Stats & Numbers for Single Family Homes [edited for flow]: Di’cha [Did you] check out the DQ #’s for sept…ouch!

Clearly this guy [San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly] lives in a cloud (according to most property owners), but somehow he remains in office.
