      Ed,
      Intersting stuff. The Bay Area is such a vacuum… though prices are probably “down” a bit, they are probably just right given the past few years. If you had to pick a city or two, where do you think the best values are right now? As I look at houses in different areas, I keep seeing value in places like SSF, RWC and San Mateo.

      Thanks for the question, Mo. Of course, value is completely subjective depending if you’re talking strictly dollar value, or relative dollar value for a “good” areas (another hugely subjective terms). If it’s the latter, than areas like Sunnybrae in San Mateo, Mt. Carmel in Redwood City, pockets of San Bruno and Pacifica all represent good values right now. The pendulum has swung wide towards buyers these days, so there’s definitely lots of opportunities out there. Let’s chat further soon if you want.
