Kevin Quoted in Mission Local: “Real estate market in the Mission appears to recover, for now – Mission Local”

“A lot of renters have become buyers,” observed real estate agent Kevin Ho. “All the talk of exodus — that’s the headline-grabbing news — but the real news is that a lot of buyers have a little more affordability.

Estimates show that state koffers take a $1.5 billion hit which translates to about 2.5 percent of property tax revenues that are already held artificially low by Proposition 13.
