Buying a home in San Fransisco, CA was the best decision I ever made! I heard different insights on the market from all directions and realized that it just can’t be predicted. With that in mind I found a house I could afford, and if real estate values fall I’m happy to stay in this property for a long period of time or until the market comes back. The best piece of advice I received was “Don’t purchase a home because you think it’s value will increase”.
