It’s always a good time to buy in the Bay Area. Prices either go up or stagnate. In some cases the mortgage is cheaper than rent.

Spoken like a true myopic who doesn't have enough life experience to understand economic cycles.

15 years in the Bay Area is not enough life experience? how long have you been here? Why don’t you give a more concrete argument about my myopic views?

Bay Area slash Seattle? Seem like very different analyses.

Not really. Different degrees but same causality

2012 would have been a good time.

RE market here in the SFBA is closely tied to the performance of the tech stock market. Tech stocks are super overvalued IMO, therefore RE is overvalued also. Just my opinion!

True. Housing stagnated during oct-Jan timeframe when stock was low. Now stocks are high. Seeing housing picking up

The best time to buy is only when you can afford it and if you can imagine the growth being 0% for the future. Never let speculation or FOMO be your main drivers.

Look at the ratio of median income to house price. Similar to valuing based on PE
