‘Not For The Faint Of Heart'; Bay Area Real Estate Market Heating Up To Pre-Pandemic Levels

By CBS San Francisco Staff:

OAKLAND (CBS SF) — After a slumber when the San Francisco Bay Area was in the grips of the COVID-19 pandemic, real estate sales were heating up to a feverish pitch with homes in Oakland and San Jose selling in less than two weeks, according to real estate leader Redfin.

The real estate resurgence has been slowly building for several months as COVID-19 restrictions have eased, new cases have dropped and the percentage of local residents fully vaccinated has skyrocketed.

Offices have begun to reopen to employees who have been working remotely for more than a year. Restaurants are filling up again and there is a new buzz settling over the region.
