@@SpencerHsu It does. A lot of great points were made, such as even filing claims that the insurance company ultimately doesn't pay could still strongly affect whether or not they drop you or raise your rates (more likely just drop you!) because dealing with the claim still cost the insurance companies a lot of money regardless. I also like the point about hardening your house against fire and related activities is less about reducing your home insurance rates and much more about just trying to reduce your chances of being dropped. Also the benefits of high minimum deductibles to improve incentives for homeowners and attractiveness to insurers was such a great point. So much more here, these are just a few examples. Great chat!

Aragon High School highly rated? When I went there in the early 80's, we had a smoking section. An open campus to come and go as we wanted. The Preppies from Hillsborough drove to school in their white VW Cabriolets, the Stoners made pipes in woodshop, the Cholos from Barrio Shoreview were fixing their lowriders at the auto shop class, the Nerds from the Highlands were building computers, and the Pacific Islanders from South Norfolk on the football team won the championship. Sadly, many of my classmates moved away because they were priced out by tech transplants. It was more economically diverse, blue collar and interesting back then.

I follow an app called Reventure and it is quite alarming to see other markets, including Texas and Florida, coming down dramatically. I think most Californians believe it can’t happen here. But if the stock market does not hold, real estate will come tumbling down. 2024 is likely to continue strong but I have much less conviction for stocks and Bay Area real estate in 2025. Appears to me that sentiment is changing.
@SpencerHsu Ай бұрын
That is a really interesting app. Californians believe it can so don’t worry about that. One interest rates increased a lot in 2022 home prices dropped by 25% within six months so nothing is invincible. There are always dips when you magnify anytime. But the question is focusing on the long-term, which place is it likely to support higher prices. If one is bullish, then they buy, but if they are bearish, then this is the right time to liquidate assets. real estate is no different.

Hi - Nice video. A few of things to correct. 1) On the map - Russian Ridge is off of Skyline Blvd in the Santa Cruz Mountains and not where you placed on the map. That is actually Stulsaft. 2) Stulsaft doesn't have weekly events, that is Stafford park. 3) Northstar is 3-8. One thing you should have mentioned were the weekly music in the square every summer which draws thousands every Friday.
