Tangentially speaking, what does say about Bay Area housing? Anecdotally, I used to look at Google's performance as an indicator on South Bay housing prices.


Housing prices are in a bubble for sure! They are artificially being kept steady.

Rents are still the same but with 1-2 months free deal (which translates to around a few hundred dollars per month down from pre-covid).


Rents are down 10-30% in SF. I received a 10% discount on my lease renewal along with 8 weeks free.

Artificially only in the sense that most people who would have been selling their house right now are cancelling their plans due to the pandemic, not some sort of organized conspiracy.
