@Steve Olafson   if one was in the Bay Area during the 89 quake and the war.. we had a mini melt down in RE prices.. that was basically regionalized.. many don't remember or knew of it.But BAy area prices even on the peninsula  and SF dropped 50%... far worse crash than the 07 to 09 slow down the bay area experienced...

The block is set close to the street with a wrought-iron gate leading up a short path to a set of glass doors.

We're talking a 9.0 quake and the regional disaster crews just held a drill:  http://www.theheraldbusinessjournal.com/article/20160607/NEWS03/160609401 I hope that his family home is on high ground...As for myself, I've completely stopped looking at saltwater frontage and the lowlands east of Everett, except for the TDR credits that I can clip off to resell. 

Many of our clients just roll the dice and hope that the next major quake doesn't happen until they are dead and gone.3.

its a creepy feeling.i'd confirm with your insurance that you have quake coverage and what your deductible is.

no correlation from one bubble burst to another.what could the next one be.Terroist detonate a nuke in New York.Major earth quake in the bay area.mid east war's intensify..

Drive out a mile and you'll find the big, boasting brownstones, spires and wrought iron, gargoyles and the glorious marble and brass vestibules of Mount Vernon.  

Let me know how I can help.Truly, I could thrive as a real estate agent given that my current market is wrought with agents who don't respond or are varying levels of incompetent. 

I feel bad for whoever's living there during our next big earth quake...

Any dry wrought or active termite infestation needs to be addressed right away.
