while @steve b. is removing his tongue from his cheek, there are a few different ways to look at sf/bay area in the long term. if you are looking for relevant metrics, it's pretty easy to do some modeling based on zillow's published research data -- it will let you get pretty granular so that you can compare zips in areas that might have similar urban/suburban growth disparities in recent years (esp nyc, la).

Hi, yas, i can do a sampling exercise, just wondering if this had been done before so i dont need to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks for your reply. Taking all the factors above, suppose a 1500 house costs 700k in santa rosa while a virtually same house costs 1 mil in daly city today 2015, in say 2035, will the ratio of the two prices still be around 7:10? Or can it possibly go to say 5:10 or even 3:10?

It would seem city properties (for example those in SF or Silicon Valley) increase in value more than the surrounding suburb properties (for example, Sonoma, Contra Costa counties). But I wonder if that's just from isolated periods of market activities and in the long run the average growth rates are similar?

There should be a periodic "spill over" effect when city property prices becomes too unaffordable, no? Thus leading to suburb prices catching up.

Are there any analysis on this?
