Did SF prices go down? I remember they were significantly higher than SD a while ago

SF has increased since 2019 like everywhere has. Much higher than SD

Remote work completed changed the professional composition of the city. Sad to see it change but glad I bought a house ❤️

My mortgage + property taxes are less than 1/3 of what I'd pay to rent my home today.

I was extremely fortunate in my timing. It still means that buying has provided great benefits even if property values drop or I never sell.

The problem is that while the math tended to favor buying over renting in SD for quite a while, until the recent price/interest explosion, the barrier to entry posed by down payment was prohibitive for many.

I was assigned to SF prior the Pandemic and was re-assigned to SD last year. I could say SF is way more ahead of the price for few dollars. Could be around 30% more of the price of the rent in SD.

It really is. Its crazy how high the rent is here. I can barely afford to live here.
