Buying in Oakland is a risky proposition - values plummeted there much more during the downturn than other parts of the Bay Area, so expect a repeat next time around. Not to mention you have to put up with the crime, terrible schools, lack of police, etc, etc.

on the other hand prices in Oakland and other counties (except Marin) were not all that too different pre-bubble years (pre 1998). Prices should have corrected for other SFBA counties.
