Who wants a 400-unit high density housing development built in their back yard? Or, what about a Chemical Plant, Industrial building or even a Refinery built next to your child’s school? Who is to pay for roads to new housing or is there enough Fire and Police Services to handle a disaster? Who decides on what is appropriate for your neighborhood? Your Planning Commission.
Everything a County Planning Commission does affects residents of that County. In two Segments on the Real Estate and MORE!

The Housing Market Ant Jar and How's the Market?
Someone asked just today--"Is someone shaking the Housing Market Ant Jar?" Yep, I say, but just a little bit at the moment. and the next question: HOW’S IS THE MARKET?
*Heard Weekly on the Bay Area's KGO-810am and KSFO-560am radio stations*
In this segment, “The Housing Market Ant Jar and How's the Market,” I review the last half of 2023, and then talk about what is happening the first few weeks in New Year 2024. Where are Home Sellers? What’s on Buyers’ minds and generally How’s the Bay Area Housing Market?
Calling Sellers “Red Ants” and Buyers “Black Ants,” the differences between the two species then review what factors really matter the most in a home buy/sell transaction. To illustrate what matters the most, the “rocks in a basket” analogy I used in the December 16th Housing Report makes the priority of factors clear.
