San Francisco Treat?

I was in a great group today that met with a real estate agent from San Francisco. Outside of the joy of the subject matter being my home town/old stomps, I enjoyed these tidbits/observations:

• SF Google bus  = MSFT connector
• We are both water-oriented cities
• Protected views of The Bay from The City are worth approximately $200K (in one example)
• $600K is entry-level-financeable for an SF address (some parts of Seattle are ½ that)
• Rents have increased 20% in the past year
• Single family homes have increased 25% in the past year; condos 23%
• Month-over-Month Single-family home increase, Feb-March…9%
