San Francisco’s “Tech-xit”

According to Compass market analysis, for the first time in a decade, median home prices in San Francisco fell by 1% from a booming 2021 to a cooling 2022 and came to rest at $1.78 million. Oddly enough, single-family homes are doing twice as well as condos, with more than 60% of sales closing over asking price. Recent tech layoffs certainly won’t help the condo market in months ahead. But it’s yet to be seen how big of an impact the “Tech-xit” will have.

Foodie Days

These days there seems to be a National Day for Everything, especially when it comes to one of our favorite things: food. This week, we’re taking advantage to indulge in a couple of our favorite treats!

Studies show that 98% of people love pizza – and the other 2% have questionable taste. This Thursday is National Pizza Day, and you can bet I will be digging into one of my local favorites. There are so many, it will be hard to choose!

I got a head start on the festivities last Saturday by celebrating National Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. The only thing I can imagine better than cold pizza in the morning is a banana split with all the toppings and a cup of warm joe!

The market continues to wake up on the cool side of the pillow, with inventory and median sales prices down year over year. Of course, the holidays are typically a slow period, and with the global economy still in recovery mode, we’ll see what the new year has in store.

Down Time

The holidays and first few weeks of the new year tend to be a little slow for real estate, so it’s a good time to catch up on projects you’ve been thinking about… or avoiding!

My biggest procrastination is taking down holiday decorations. There’s nothing wrong with spreading happy vibes all year round, but candy canes and Christmas trees don’t really vibe with Valentine’s Day! So I use this time to get our house back to normal.

You know where to find me whenever there’s a little down time: getting in some DIY action around the house. I just installed new bathroom cabinets, and I’m still riding high on perspiration and power tools. On to the next project… when I have the time!
