🏠 Waiting for the Bay Area housing crash? It might be costing you more than you think.
For years, buyers have sat on the sidelines expecting prices to collapse. But the data tells a different story, tight inventory, strong employment, and structural supply constraints keep propping the market up, even through rate hikes and layoffs.
Every year of “waiting for the crash” has often meant:
📈 Higher prices when you finally buy
💸 Lost appreciation you could’ve built as equity
⏳ More time renting instead of building wealth
The Bay Area isn’t 2008. Different drivers, different outcome.
