I think real estate like anything runs in Cycles statistically I have always learned that real estate runs in a seven-year cycle it goes up it goes down and then it goes sideways.There's a lot of reasons obviously why the market is what it is today and there's a lot of economic emotional and influential drivers that are keeping what we are seeing at this current time a but just like the way it is today it will change either for the better or for the worse and there's two things I can guaranteeThe market will go up and the market will crash at some point in the future.

Have imaginary perspective to what one can do for the house- Ability to forecast appreciation and market analytics either by data-driven analytics or analyzing using ZHI/Redfin or other software.A 15 year statistical analysis, is showing by average bay area appreciation is about 5.785% constantly.

If you're looking for market averages in your area, instead of what's the norm for you investors who particpate in this forum, then I would suggest looking for the statistics section of your local realtor's association website.
