SF Bay Area Health Check – are prices going to crater?
Our most popular presenter, and Multifamily expert Neal Bawa will present his annual SF Bay Area health check presentation. This in-depth entertaining presentation gives you a bird-eye view of what’s happening in the Bay Area’s real estate market. It includes entertaining videos about Bay Area real estate, quotes from market experts and one or two delightful surprises. Neal’s presentation ends with the city-by-city shootout where over 30 Bay Area cities are pitted against each other for price growth and other factors, so keep your cameras handy !!
Neal’s story will start with the 6 X-Factors that have driven the Bay Area’s pricing since the great recession.
#1: Neal talks about interest rates and the impact of rising interest rates on the Bay Area market. With 2 hikes done and one planned by the Fed later in the year, this is a huge factor that affects affordability in the Bay area.
#2: Next, Neal moves on to Job Growth, and specifically tech job growth which is a key driver of the Bay Area’s real estate market. Find out if the jobs growth numbers are holding up, or will the layoffs ruin the party?
#3: Coming in at number 3 is the Big A word: AFFORDABILITY. Can the residents of the Bay Area afford to buy homes? What percentage of the Bay Area can afford homes here? What are the median incomes needed to buy homes in the major Bay Area cities? What are the median monthly housing costs in the various cities. Learn all of these key decision factors in Neal’s presentation.
#4: Housing supply is so important in NIMBY-driven Bay Area policy. Is the government finally making the policy changes needed, or is housing supply going to continue to be restrained in 2018 and 2019?
#5: No discussion of the Bay Area real estate market is complete without a discussion about the tech boom (bubble???). Will the sky high valuations in tech continue to drive real estate? Or will reality finally take a bite out of the Bay’s valuations apple?
#6: Chinese cash buyers have had a huge psychological impact on the Bay Area’s real estate market. Will the ever-harsher capital controls imposed by the Chinese government impact Chinese buyers in 2018 and 2019? Find out in Neal’s presentation.
#7: Neal’s presentation ends with an entertaining city by city, and county by county price appreciation and rent appreciation shootout. Many of the winners and losers are going to surprise you !! Also, Neal will compare his 2018 predictions to 2018 (first-half) numbers. Did Neal get it right? You will find out at the event.
If you are interested in the Bay area market, this event is for you ! You will walk away armed with the knowledge to figure out your plan of attack. You will be better able to protect your income against market declines, or changes in the real estate environment.
