As usual, want to find the happy medium where residents aren't opening their windows since it's too hot, but also don't want them freezing.

Pushing prices can be done in hot markets but its also a wonderful way to overbuild and lose your shirt if the market turns.  

Some are more expensive than others (HOA) fees, some have central water and sewers while others have well and septic systems; most all have recreational facilities; you will find a wide range of prices, dues and taxes.  

Ceramic is resistant to water, more so than laminate.

My wife's been telling me that San Leandro is the next hot place. 

Is it a white hot market ?

The downtown market is beyond hot right now so I think it's best to take advantage.
