Shorter commute... Yes. Good point!

I was never one to spend $ on cars that could go into a home equity close to work. 15 years is about right for a car and that is more from getting tired of it rather than burning it up on a long commute. Today I commute from the bedroom to the dining room where I have my office so I have to use exercise as an excuse to drive to a health club or windsurfing site. :)

I know some that spend big $ on fancy cars so they can enjoy their long commute in luxury... That sure burns cars fast including tune-ups, tires and gasoline. I'll settle for a short commute in a more expensive area.

It used to be Stanford was the epicenter where prices would fall in down times the further away you were but now there is significan business in S. San Jose so my guess is the expensive land down that way "Saratoga and Gated Silver Creek" won't see as big a drop as they saw in the past.

A 40% drop is normal in Bay Area real estate and it often ties to interest rates and what people can afford.
