However, there's no guarantee how long that would be (or at least, I don't have enough knowledge to know--if you know, say, with good evidence, that 2 years from now the prices will drop significantly then waiting is prudent).If there is no real evidence of large, detrimental economic factors going on (war, people moving out of the Bay in masses, an unusual amount of new construction making the supply on houses extraordinarily large for a prolonged amount of time), then there is no reason to assume that the seller's market will swing back to a buyer's market any time soon.The fact remains that the population in the Bay is growing year after year, tech companies are still expanding (to such a point where they are closing down Gold's Gyms, grrr, but that's another story), and this is still a highly desirable place to live.  

I am a husband to an awesome wife, and a father to two lovely daughters.My experience in real estate consists of countless hours of moonlight research and reading books, listening to a lot of BP podcasts, and lending a helping hand with construction and grunt work to friends who own rental properties to learn what I can from them.My goals in real estate are to invest in buy-and-hold single & multi-family properties, building a portfolio that will allow my wife and I the financial freedom and time to dedicate more of our efforts to helping and blessing othersThanks to BP for this invaluable resource to financial freedom and to all the members who contribute their knowledge so that others can learn and grow!
