it was because of the hippie song "are you going to san francisco?" i created a thread sometime ago explaining why. too lazy to look for it now while riding bart, bay area rapid transit. if i find it, will post the link.

Unless it's a different song, i believe the title is "If you're going to San Francisco"... you're gonna meet some gentle people there like eatshitndie??

There's a Philz coffee at Sausalito. Excellent stuff.
Very true about the real estate prices, though I think traditionally winter/spring inventory is low.
Summer numbers will provide a better picture.

there have been several cases of real estate "flipping" reported recently on bay area news. in a hot market, flipping happens. except that this time, there's evidence of mass flipping, via all-cash purchases, and by organized foreign syndicates who would pay "buyers" a sum of money to bid on homes, overpay the asking price with cash, acquire the property, and then flip it within 30 days. one syndicate can easily make a profit of usd5m to usd10m a month thru' the flipping of 100 homes. demand is extremely high for homes in the usd500k to usd1m range.

and there are local investment companies that buy up distressed properties in bad shape, remodel them, and flip them back on the market for 2 to 3 times the purchased price. 2 examples below:
