Well I thought Seattle would be more like Austin (where I was last year, working at Dell). Austin used to be cheap and plentiful real estate, all of the sudden these 500K houses started to pop up on the lake. Still, if you want to find a house in Austin you can get it - long time locals are shocked at the prices but theres plenty of space to avoid the bidding wars.

In SF, different story, SF is a small city really and there are no new developments. Only a few years ago you really didn't want to be in the Sunset because it is always foggy and cold but now try to get a house there - no way. And Silicon Valley proximity has altered the landscape so places like South of Market are getting really expensive because they are off the freeway for commuting to the valley. I tried to get a house 2 weeks ago, I bid the asking price which was all this place was worth (it was overpriced) and I was outbid. So you are saying that San Diego is not a hot real estate market? If so, thats good news because that means the entire country is not overheating and it is just centered in the high tech areas.
