San Francisco has a unique real estate climate where markets can heat and cool quickly, and Noe Valley is a neighborhood seeing this firsthand.
De Jong says San Francisco is always changing. "People have been speculating that it's either going to jump up rapidly again and keep on the same incline," she says. "Or, they fear that it's a bubble, that prices are going to drop, that companies will move out of San Francisco. I haven't actually seen any of that yet."
"For the most part," she continues, "people will hold on to their real estate and it will continue to increase over time. It might just not be as great as it has been in the past couple of years."
