Less people are coming to the weekend open houses. The first couple weekends we had about 100 groups. Down to about 10 each day now, and about 2 to 3 people during the week. We have had 2 offers. One for asking, one for less. The asking one fell thru, and the lowball one was rejected. I don't know how long our agreement is with our agent. I would have to look, but I assume the standard 3 month here. |

There's article after article about the housing market slowdown, unfortunately. So many people are priced out of the market. Lots of people are holding off. Many people are moving away. I'd probably be aggressive to sell, in case things turn south, but timing the market is an impossibility.

I also learned that my $250k house here is worth at least a million if it was there. I have a decent salary and could not hope to buy a house within about a 100 miles of Ho.

Salaries for the right jobs can be very high in the Bay Area. A starting programmer with the right resume for Google or similar can make 140k US + benefits worth tens of thousands. So housing prices are high, but wages for the right people are higher. Then wages for everybody else are relatively high but not as high as the cost of living. There are crappy areas around here. For instance, there are some pretty ghetto parts of Hayward and Oakland. You can move out to areas like Tracy and Modesto, but then, depending on the times, your commute can take hours. Plural. The gentrification train just keeps on rolling. I'm about 30 miles from Ho, though I don't know exactly where he lives. I never saw the link or ad for his house, so my knowledge of his sitch is vague. So it's complicated.

My car got backed into at work today. I got it on dashcam completely clearly. Damage on the bumper. Hood looks like it buckled a bit when it happened. Car got pushed back maybe five or so inches. I had it parked with ebrake in gear. Filing a police report tomorrow as well as letting my insurance know. Got it all on video but I’m so fucking pissed.

A friend of mine commutes from Fairfield to the middle of SF. It's at least two hours each way, but he can telecommute 2-3 times a week. Totally insane. For a while, he stayed at my office some nights, which is in Fremont. It still took 1.5 hours each way and he had to be quiet at night, which killed his joy. I can see why people wanna move away.
