come to SF...oh, wait...we are just as bad out here.

This "average" comes up all the time and it's misleading. Real estae professionals point out that New York has a disproportionately larger number of high-price apartments, and these apartments skew the average higher.

Crazy SF is RIGHT, Jailyardguy. I'm a native here and things were ok up until 1999-2000- then all those DotComs came in and completely ruined the market. I went from paying $600 for a 1 bedroom apt to $1,495 for the same square footage. IN ONE YEAR!

Then, when the Dot Com's crashed (and all those POOR millionares were crying on the news about how they were having their mansions foreclosed on now), we all waited for sanity to return.

It never did.

$760,000 will buy you a crack house in the East Bay. 1 Bedroom, no parking - BART in your backyard.

I was one of those whining dot commies. Too bad I didn't have more sense than money...I might not be living in Outer Brooklyn right now.

My partner and I moved from Walnut Creek back to the city shortly after I got my first bonus, and we had to sell our place in Pac Hts about two years later (of course, we were also in the process of bitterly dissolving our pathetic sham of a relationship, so it would have happened anyway). We paid about 40% too much for it, and didn't do so well in that little deal...it's kind of horrifying how it never recovered, though. After the crash, I moved back to the East Bay and was kind of shocked at how much prices had gone up in CoCoCo in just under 2 years...kind of nutty.

this is why I need to marry someone rich. I already have my eye on this boy in my grade who has six houses-- including an apartment in NYC.

Wow. Those prices are insane.
