I miss the old bloggers too. It seems like this blog isn’t updated as often now whereas the old bloggers each had a section of the Bay Area that they talked about. The Bay Area isn’t just San Francisco…

This is helpful data, but would love to see this data on a chart with allowing users to see the trendlines. If the data was really reliable and the charting tools were flexible and easy to user I would pay that service.

Posting this data is great but the spreadsheet is missing many of the important bay area cities and neighborhoods e.g. Pleasanton, Dublin, Los Gatos etc.

I saw something on trulia.com (i think it was trulia.com) with pictorial representation with color codes. Red color on map for highest price reduction , to yellow for moderate and cream/white for steady. I liked it. I like the above, but it does not give me all the neighbourhoods. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll forward your thoughts to our data engineers to see what kind of data we can pull out that would be of more practical use.

I guess I disagree with some of the data-haters … I feel that insightful data analysis can help me to make a more informed home-buying decision, and Redfin has access to the best dataset that one could hope for. It’s still important, of course, for Redfin to present *useful* analysis of data, which means giving some thought to what information home buyers (and sellers) could make use of but currently don’t have. For example, listing the neighborhoods with the fastest and slowest price reductions is simply a novelty, but listing the rate of price reduction for *all* neighborhoods could be useful.

Why should I care about this wickedly boring junk? I liked the personal touch of the old sweet digs. Numbers are good and all; they just don’t make interesting reading.
