Added a new page with a table and chart I compile on median home prices in the nine county SF Bay Area. Home prices dipped during and after the 2007-2009 recession and the median figure in many counties was pounded down by the weight of REO (bank Real Estate Owned) and short sale transactions. With transactions down, agents reporting a limited inventory of homes for sale and prices jumping off the chart, I suspect some buyers feel like they’re being taken to the cleaners.
