For nothing more than a little fun, we thought it would be interesting to extrapolate some of the numbers we played with last week to predict what prices would be in ten years IF the rate of inflation and appreciation remained the same as it’s been over the last decade. So, with some very basic math, we averaged out the increase for single family homes, lofts/condos/TICs and Multi Unit buildings in five neighborhoods and applied it to a new neighborhood, Glen Park–2017. Not only do we doubt that the rate of appreciation will remain the same, but we hope with all our might that it doesn’t because not a damn soul will be able to afford a tank of gas let alone a modest house in Glen Park.

Then Vs. Now [San Francisco Schtuff]
This week we’re going down memory lane in five districts–to wrap things up nice and neat, our last district is Bernal Heights. We’re bringing it back to good old 1997 when Ben and Jerry’s introduced “Phish Food,” the world lost Notorious BIG, Bill Clinton was President and Mission Bay was nothing more than a place on the map.
We’ve been getting a lot of interest in the Then vs Now series we ran this week from our readers and other blogs (thanks theFrontSteps, CurbedSF, Redfin) and we’re glad you likey. Now, speak up, leave comments, thoughts or questions–we’d love to hear your voice! Next week we’ll be putting the data together to do some head-to-head comparisons; gitty up…
