    A San Francisco couple is glad they decided not to sell and retire elsewhere. The East Bay awaits.

    BySusie Wyshak April 14, 2026April 14, 2026

    With relish, I devoured the Wall Street Journal “Retirement Rookies” article by Stephen Kreider Yoder and Karen Kreider Yoder. The title was “We Considered Leaving the City in Retirement. We’re So Glad We Didn’t.” Mind you, this isn’t the “city” as in New York; some people insist that’s the only city that deserves that moniker….

    Lists of the best places to live in the United States hit my inbox daily. Best places for coffee lovers, doughnut lovers, chocolate lovers, families…the themes have no end.

    Building ADUs on a property with a single-family home or multi-family building has become the most popular way to think about multi-generational living or generating income during retirement. (The New York Times reports on the popularity of ADUs — although ignore the very low prices per square foot quoted!) But what if it turns out…

    How does Proposition 19 work to keep a house’s low tax basis?

    BySusie Wyshak February 23, 2022February 16, 2026

    California’s Proposition 19 went into effect on April 1, 2021. It’s known as the “The Home Protection for Seniors, Severely Disabled, Families, and Victims of Wildfire or Natural Disasters Act.” The goal of Proposition 19 is to help millions of older homeowners who want to downsize without huge increases in property tax, homeowners with severe…

Convincing aspiring home buyers NOT to buy a house or to understand what it will take to fix up a house is JOB #1 as a buyer's agent. Showing houses after a torrential rain is a joy. How is the property draining? Is any water getting into the foundation or the house? Where is the water coming from - the roof or the earth or both? What isn't job #1? Getting you to buy any old house. Get more home buying tips from your straightshooting Agent Susie at https://www.susiewyshak.com DRE 02144226 Compass

Thinking of moving to Berkeley and want to be close to BART and everything? Don't miss this chance...coming from a Cal alum and longtme local. This one is rare. Set on a tree-lined street in Central Berkeley, 2341 McKinley is a Spanish-style 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath main home with a 1 bedroom, detached ADU. The property was designed to inspire gatherings, indoor/outdoor living, calm, and flexibility. The location puts BART, buses and the very best of Berkeley within easy reach. With a 90 Walk Score and 94 Bike Score, this location is a dream for commuters and locals alike. With the original 1925 home lifted in 2003 to create the ground level and perform a full update on the house, this is a rare Berkeley property that combines character, space, condition, charm and location in the Berkeley flats, in the historic Spaulding-McGee district.
