I've read a lot about the slowing of home sales and transactions so far in 2019.

I am old and slow and take naps. 

So make a plan on what you'll do if the markets continue like they are, what happens when they slow down or speed up.

People are always trying to beat the markets and think they have the foresight to know the future better than everyone else sometimes slow and steady is the way to go.Nothing you can say is going to change my opinion on these matters.

That's the same rent in deep East Oakland, where there aren't any Google engineers :)my man @Amit M. said it right...for $1.9M you should be buying in SF. 

@Russell Brazil I completely agree with you , when it slows down that is when a good agent will shine most and earn a better commission.

We know it'll be a slow process, and one or both of us might need to teach for a few more years after the move as we transition, but it's our hope and dream to spend more time with our (I can't emphasize this enough - feisty, feisty, zesty-level feisty) little redheads.I want to be a member of this community, and, after a career of teaching, I believe in putting more in than you take out (believe me, that's what teachers are), so I guess I have a question about norms for this community. 

Did an open house this past weekend in the mid $400's price range and had like 5-6 people through, so no signs of slowing down to me. 

If the product goes away my business will slow.  

@Zeke Liston the market in Swanton is pretty slow.
