I am a lifelong resident of California - grew up in the SF Bay, went to school in the O.C. lived in LA for over a decade and relocated to the central coast during COVID. 

Located in Havertown school district there is an overwhelming amount of demand for the Philly suburbs with all comparables selling over ask in under 6 DOM.

Housing stability is important, especially to families with school-aged children.

This scenario often allows investors to purchase properties at competitive prices, potentially increasing their return on investment​​ and have smooth investing experience.Quality Education System: With several highly-rated public schools, Katy is an appealing location for families.

But for my education through stuff like school is about to come to an end, so I really only have one shot at this or else you can catch me working at a Mcdonalds somewhere in charlotte NC.... 

But still, the situation isn’t just with the current circumstances, it’s also just a way for me to put myself through school on the process.

well, the crash in san francisco market is precisely because of that, so many startup has receive no funding making people or young engineer has to sell their luxury condo in san francisco, a condo that used to be 800k 3 years ago is now 400-500k-ish, however the other area seems more stable even we got more bid for single family, it seems, an asset that is rich in bid and appeal to family with good school such as basic 3/1 would be just fine.... 

. - The suburbs and areas with desirable school districts are HOT.

Although it can feel 'old-school' sometimes local buyers prefer traditional marketing methods. 

They are looking to make the move to join up with the adult daughter and so their 7 year old can go to the local school district, which has good ratings.I also learned that the adult daughter is looking to move from her current apartment which is in the midst of a bed bug infestation.
