SoI wouldn't hedge my bets against Realtor.com's predictions... last year Sacramento was projected to be the #4 metro market in the nation... 

You can always ask, but I've given up trying to interject logic into predicting their actions.  

(If as I predict, I'll end up being the main physical / financial support for some family members in their later years-- they'll be packing up and moving with me to Florida :wink: )Thanks everyone else for the kind words.

The future job growth over the next 10 years is predicted to be 42.49% which is 4.5% higher than the national job growth rate.Any questions?

No way to know or predict what will happen.

Are there some static things one can look out for to predict what's coming next?

The first sign of trouble in UST which was the 10/2 spread in March historically predicts a recession in the next 6-24 months with 16months being the avg.

Predicting ARV is hard, especially if an appraiser does not understand which repairs and upgrades you plan to perform.SOWs have another important duty – setting the table for your financial partners (equity and debt), so they can gain confidence in your vision and ability to execute.

I’m curious people’s thoughts/predictions on commercial development.

The problem I believe so many are having in understanding and predicting this market is the lens through which it's being viewed.
