No. Santa Clara County will always have East San Jose to drag it down couple notches…

Already missed the boat… Agent begged me to buy turnkey flip for 350k in 2011. Emailed me 3 times and reduced price twice. I ignored her… :sob: :sob: :sob:

SF has the tenderloin and hunter’s point.

Size of those neighborhoods is small compared to the entire city. Size of East San Jose is very big.

How do you explain SF having ~2x the crime rate of San Jose? It’s rare per 100,000 people, so it accounts for size difference. SF has much higher crime (property and violent crime).

Only in certain parts of the city. My part is very safe :slight_smile:

Heck, if you can’t beat em, join em I say…

Not dragging it down as much anymore. Seeing average sales in the mid 800 to 900s now.

350k at that time for turnkey not as good as if you bought a condo for 350k in Sunnyvale or Mountain View :slight_smile: ESJ turnkey maybe 2x while condo in SV and MV probably 3x.

I’m happy with my 2x gain in Contra Costa. Because I was already late to the game when I bought (2013-14) :upside_down_face:
