I closed on my property last year and so far it's been a bit of a roller coaster.

Here's a graph of San Francisco's historical high-tier home values to show you the roller coaster ride we're on:We go up, and then we go down, and then we go up even higher, and come back down again.

And that's why it's a HUGE opportunity for local investors to ride the roller-coaster California market and experience 12-36 months of appreciation and then sell at the top of the market.

Real estate is a roller coaster and sometimes you loose money.

And it's all part of the roller coaster ride.

Real Estate in San Diego is so fun and such a fun roller coaster.

I've watched too much HGTV and I'm addicted to the flipping roller coaster!  

If you are purchasing in SF proper or strong markets in the Peninsula/South Bay you should be fine as long as you can afford to ride out any roller coaster.

@Jennifer Jackson Sounds like you already lived through one real estate roller coaster!

Good luck on this roller coaster!
