It’s true, in San Francisco the craziest overbids most often go to the fixers. Why? Not because these homes are any better than most, simply because they are typically priced much lower than their peers, and that attracts contractors, developers, and dreamers alike who ultimately drive the price way over asking, but not necessarily into unreasonable market value. It’s a game we play here in San Francisco, and I do believe this game is not played anywhere else, but it works, so why not keep doing it.

As for the real estate outlook, this is what the collective heads in the finance world are saying:
The housing market looks good according to the February 2020 Economic Outlook from Fannie Mae’s Economic and Strategic Research (ESR) group. Summing up the report, Fannie Mae’s SVP and Chief Economist Doug Duncan said, “Looking ahead, we continue to anticipate that the economy’s resilience will help keep housing on a firm growth track. In fact, our updated housing market forecast shows greater strength in essentially every part of the housing market extending through the first half of 2021.”
