    Funny when you look at these homes and think that 10 years ago Walford on Shrewsbury was sold for nearly 60 million….

    Horrible decor in all of them. Millions of dollars can’t buy good taste. Ruched and ruffled curtains and fakey mock Tudor…vomit.

    The mid San Francisco Peninsula has been in the top 10% of US property values since the 1950s, long before Silicon Valley was born.

    Proximity to Stanford University, near perfect climate year round (45-75F), zero snow/ice or humidity and an abundance of interesting places to visit has put this area in high demand. Crime rates are very low, with very attentive and responsive police. Real punishment for law breakers – 3 strikes gives you 25 years .. Excellent public schools etc.

    I have seen a very strong spike in values in the past 2 years, thanks to exploding values of Facebook, Google and Apple in particular. Homes can sell for 30-70% over asking, as regards a bubble – not likely to affect this area, even post 9/11 and the dotcom crash the only effect it had was to lengthen the sales process in most areas from 2 to 4 weeks. Some outlying areas (50+ miles) did drop say 20% but quickly recovered.

    Added to all of this is the Real Property Tax, approx. 1.5 % of home value (as determined by the most recent sale) .. So a starter home for $2m has an annual tax if $28,000 approx. (If you are a minute late in payment a 10% penalty is applied – if not paid, this is added as a lien on the property, to be paid in full when house sells next.) Water bills are $100-$400 per month, no payment , no water. Trash $150 ..

    Still wouldn’t want to live anywhere else ..
