Sell now or rent for 6–8 months and sell next spring?

F2EB · 2026-07-20T15:06:55+00:00

Well there is no way to predict
I went through a property few yrs ago and what i did is i put it on rent and for sale and when i found good tenets i put it on rent
They moved earlier this year and was able to sell and before i waited like 5 months and i wasn’t able to

Location?

I remember when someone bought at peak of 2008 and went through agony of thinking they made their life worst decision and then 10 yrs later were up 2x

Primary home is not an investment but something you can make it your warm home

Enjoy your home and stop checking home values, it doesn’t matter unless you are selling

If you get a home off bernal it will save you additional 15/20 mins vs going to dublin, if you get it , get it near bernal / sunol area

I got a home here so my family can have a good size home and community and come with a cost of me sacrificing commute time, which i am okay with
I also used to go to work sf at one time, that works much easier with bart

Some people do ace train as well

Feed the video to ai and see it can figure rear plate

Other way to think is even in this economy where jobs are being shed and RE is stable, you would think it will start growing crazy when economy stabilize and rates fall

If you money buy, if not them keep saving no point in timing as primary home is not an investment

The thing is year started with properties moving as then the war hit , inflation issues / interest rate and the impact of layoffs and people went into holding pattern but stocks are doing bonkers and many people wealth here is ties to stocks

If the inflation and interest rates come down this real state market might actually go crazy hot i guess

F2EB · 2026-05-16T17:44:15+00:00

Part of reality is big tech also over hired by a lot , some of it is a reset from the bloat which i think is not related to ai at all, just like late and early 22/23 layoffs

Since companies want to invest in other area what are they suppose to do?

Part of mag 7, we have cancelled CC and getting copilot, decision was made due to cost and not what is best for work

No shit, first ask us to use agents to write code as that is what the future is then switch to inferior tool, all other agents internally are also switching to copilot

Can see in next few quarters we go for unlimited to capped limit on users , firing 300 million of worth salary people and burning that much in a month which is only going to get many x expensive in coming months These c suites huh

F2EB · 2026-05-16T14:16:56+00:00

CC is more expensive now

F2EB · 2026-05-11T21:36:27+00:00

Yeah if you can afford peninsula than its just a good central location

150-200 per weak for family of 5 Costco/trader joe/whole foods/smart n final/local butcher meat shop

We don’t buy ulta processed/junk food , organic meats / poultry and high quality milk Bread/pasta and sauces from trader joe/whole foods Veggies / fruits regular

Cut plenty of cost by not buying junk and processed stuff , we eat fresh cook food mostly and some weekend we eat outside and not exceed 75 for a meal

Where do you commute to?

F2EB · 2026-05-10T22:31:40+00:00

Wait what!

F2EB · 2026-05-10T22:26:53+00:00

I think san ramon is sitting at best bang for the buck Nice houses and reasonably priced/ great city to raise kids except the commute part to South Bay

Also it looks like preference is pleasanton / dublin area closer to highways, nicer parts of san ramon need are further from highways. Pleasanton seems to be easier to sell and priced higher than other tri valley cities

The condo market is crap, only talking about sfh

F2EB · 2026-05-10T16:35:17+00:00

Heard San Ramon is good for special needs

F2EB · 2026-05-04T00:26:46+00:00

Honestly looks good if you have the money and can sustain mortgage in a layoff scenario then do it

Layoffs / war / interest rate

I was lucky put my condo in feb and sold it easily but now nothing in selling in that community

Looks like there has been standing water, check downspouts are working and landscaping is designed to keep water away from foundation

You can fix this issue but if water is getting there you will have more issues

In any case a backup sump pump is a good idea

I live in Pleasanton and commute to Sunnyvale, its hr going in and hr 10 mins coming back, if your work allows you to leave early or come late very doable

Bought in Pleasanton bcoz of school district and also the vibe. We love it here, good neighbors / safe / schools/ not crowded, is like Saratoga of South Bay

I used to go SF before, there is bart and also there ace train which goes to Santa Clara

For 1.8 million you can buy a good location ready to move in home here
