"Prices are softening a bit."

We are 30ish and live in the Hayes Valley/Lower Haight area of San Francisco. Our combined income was enough to buy a house when we were deciding what to do for a living. We have steady jobs and artsy hobbies. We live in a 1-bd apartment and pay almost $1600/m for it plus a $200/m parking spot. We have been locked out of buying a suitable home in this city and have many strong views about it. We also know many people like us.
After following the state of the housing market in the mainsteam media over the last year (since the last time we looked into buying something) we've noticed a definite change in the market just in our neighborhood. This blog will talk about some of our comments local open houses, some economic news, and a lot of ranting. We encourage your comments. And unlike many other blogs, we make no request to keep posts PG-rated and profanity-free.
