New Case-Shiller Index Report
The Case-Shiller Index for March just came out and showed a big jump, just beginning to reflect the surge in appreciation we’ve been experiencing in 2013. (January and February Index readings mostly reflect sales in late 2012.) The March reading was 3.5% higher than February (last month) and 15% higher than March 2012.
The Index is for the 5-County SF Metro Area, not just for the city of San Francisco, and since it reflects a 3-month rolling average, is published 2 months later and sales close 4-8 weeks after the offers are negotiated, it is typically 3-5 months behind the actual market on the street. I would expect another significant jump in April’s Index.
The complete Paragon report on the Case-Shiller Index is here: http://www.paragon-re.com/Case_Shiller_Index_Deciphered_for_SF

During its rich history, the Festival has celebrated and fostered appreciation for the diverse cultural communities in the Bay Area and Northern California.

Participants come from varied socio-economical backgrounds, representing a broad range of occupations and lifestyles and during the month long festival. Students, masters and groups from regions as varied as Senegal, Tobasco and Barangay all dance together on the same stage.
The four programs, one on each weekend of the month, feature 7 to 11 companies and are comprised of performers selected from an annual audition with World Arts West, the presenter of the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. WAW’s mission is to support artists sustaining the world’s diverse dance traditions by providing needed services and performance opportunities and to provide the general public with opportunities to experience and learn more about world arts and cultures.
