There are 9 counties in the Bay Area and a LOT of different markets. There are paces at historically good prices in some markets and WTF prices in others.The idea that there is a "Bay Area Market" is ludicrous. - On 3 Sep 2012

when to sell a home, especially in a bubble!,

Thanks for the post. The point about pricing below Comps is an important one, you might even price 10% below recent comps to generate more offers. Sometimes you can generate a sma;; bidding war that way, and if you have misjudged the speed of the downward trend you might still sell. - On 28 Jul 2012

My open house reviews just cost me my job.,

Thank you all for the kind words. If anyone needs advice on country properties I would be happy to share what I know free of charge. When I act solely as agent for a buyer, that is spelled out in a contract which is standard. If you wish to have any compensation paid to me come from you, rather than the seller, that is doable as well. It just has to be straightforward. I know a number of agents and brokers who are highly competent and who have integrity, they don't get much press. Will Kent of the wine country group, Pam Bernier of Occidental Realty, Sarah Hylton of Terra Firma Global Partners, David Mark-Raymond of Coldwell Banker, Scott Stevens or Scott Murphy of Leading Edge Properties. That's just off the top of my head. Those who are curious can find comments by me on the defunct "Sonoma Housing Bubble" blog, "Calculated Risk"and a recent "How to" I wrote about a tricky country property for "Bay Area Real Estate Trends" blog. I am competent, I am honest (It's easier) and I do have a sense of humor that sometimes gets me in trouble. Again, thanks for the kind words and do your own homework, there's a lot of money involved (and more) when you buy property.
