The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the most expensive real estate markets in the US Urban decay, as seen here in Harlem in New York City near 125th Street, involves declining real estate prices. The Embarcadero in downtown San Francisco was once the site of a double-decker freeway with cardboard boxes housing the homeless underneath. In the early 1990s, however, the Embarcadero was the site of significant redevelopment efforts, sparked by both the destruction of the freeway by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and rising real estate prices. Today, the Embarcadero serves as one of the San Francisco's most prominent flagship boulevards.The median home price is one of the most common measurements used to compare real estate prices in different markets, areas, and periods. It is said to be less biased than the mean (average) price since it is not as heavily influenced by small number of very highly priced homes. Rents and prices are often expressed per square foot to act as a basis of comparison. Home prices are limited by various factors, such as the incomes of potential buyers, the cost and ability to construct new property to increase supply, and demand for rental units. Since eighty percent of all homes purchased are purchased with a mortgage, the ability to make payments, borrow money, and the cost of borrowing money are major influences limiting how far prices can rise before hitting resistance due to prices hitting levels where potential are unable to qualify. In general the ratio in the US are home values at 2-4 times annual income levels. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Roxann Colter - Thu Jan 31 22:42:57 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The commercial real estate market is much broader and dynamic than the residential market. There are many property types, whose valuations seldom move in unison. The basic property types are: retail, office, industrial and multifamily residential. The health of each of these markets is determined, to a large extent, by supply and demand. Supply is measured by vacancy rates, while demand is a function of the underlying business climate. A recession hurts demand, however these markets are very slow to react. In our current economy, the issues we have seen have been largely on the consumer side.

The prices of homes are coming down to meet the buyer's budgets. The past 2 years was all about easy money and speculation No one thought of their home as a place to live, but a ticket to big bucks.

It may not affect prices too much. Defaulting borrowers will not be written off. It may now be easier to get a mortgage that it was last month. Buyers stand to gain maximum from this deal.
