Technology sector means real estate will continue to appreciate. Unless you’re betting on technology becoming irrelevant in the future. Put it this way, Home buyers that bought at the “wrong” time in 2006 and 2007 sold their homes for 2x the original purchase price if they sold in the last 4 years. No other place in America is that true except for maybe Manhattan. Buying real estate in Silicon Valley over the long term (if you held it for at least 7 years) has basically always paid off regardless of when you purchased it.
