Feng Shui is based on energy flow or "qi flow" throughout the home. There are some things to stay away from or consider when purchasing a home. - Home is located on a dead-end street. On a T street - Home address includes the number 4. The number 4 is worst if located at the end of the address. 4 means death in Chinese. - Home does not have a square or rectangular floor plan. Buyers do not want corners and pointy edges, as it may symbolize a knife. - Front and back doors are directly in line with each other - Home stairs directly face the front door.

As fall selling season kicked off in San Francisco after Labor Day, we  wondered if new uncertainty in the stock market would impact the seemingly endless skyward march  of San Francisco home prices.

This time of year typically marks the unofficial time people begin thinking about the holidays. After Halloween, time seems to speed up and before we know it the seasonal frenzy begins. Real estate activity during the holiday season is typically discouraged because of the challenges posed on both sides of a transaction. For sellers, there is the inconvenience of having to keep the home clean; leaving on a moment's notice for showings; and limiting holiday entertaining. For buyers, there may be limited access to houses if sellers place showing restrictions due to personal schedules and commitments. There are other considerations that both sides should keep in mind. Buyers will find fewer homes on the market, but the homes that are available have motivated sellers. This may provide a better negotiating climate, and there is less likely to be the type of competition for homes you see during high season. In turn, sellers will find equally motivated buyers, and may find that

This story has been updated to reflect PwC retracting its forecast of a decline in San Francisco office rents. The Business Times confirmed the decline with PwC twice. The firm has now said it made an error in one of the data points related to the decline. San Francisco's office and multifamily real estate markets will see a slowdown in rental growth and a contraction starting this year, according to a report by PwC. PwC projects that new office construction will raise supply by around 6 percent, which will lead to excess space that "will put increased downward pressure on rent levels," said Emily Pillars , partner at PwC. The PwC report is based on responses from real estate investors and data from commercial real estate brokerages. The forecast for Oakland's office market is more positive. PwC forecasts expansion between 2015 and 2018, and the beginning of a contraction in 2018. San Jose's office market is projected to have a downturn in 2015 and 2016

While stock markets in the U.S. have been more than a little volatile the past month or so, the dip has been nothing compared to China. The Hong Kong Hang Seng index is down more than 21 percent so far this year and more than 38 percent from its 52-week high. So what impact will troubles in the world’s second largest economy have on the U.S. housing market? A recent article in Realtor.com, the magazine of the National Association of REALTORS®, said the shaky Chinese market may be a double-edged sword for real estate here at home. On one hand, Chinese buyers have been one of the major drivers of the Bay Area real estate market, and tough economic times could mean less competition from those offshore investors, “possibly cooling some markets and making a wee bit of room in inventory at least in the luxury market,” the article notes. But at the same time, there continues to be a very strong desire by the Chinese to invest in the U.S., which is still seen as somewhat of a “safe h
