As a student of real estate my entire life, this COVID-19-induced market has taught me much and introduced different concepts and principles into the market which we might never see again in our lifetime. Normally in September I write about what we can expect in our fall real estate market because it marks the start of our second selling season of the year in San Francisco. 

With our single-family home market so hot, many people are purchasing condos or TIC’s (tenancy in common) as their first home. If you are thinking about buying one, carefully investigate the Homeowner Association, finances, management, and current or potential litigation before proceeding.
