You should also have a real estate agent help you locate a home in an area that you can afford.

Last month San Francisco’s sales price for median priced homes have increased by 11.6% from the same month the previous year.

This is still a good time to buy something. Prices are still very attractive, however some prices in some areas are so attractive that it is generating multiple offer situations.
