Happy Women's History Month!

Early Real Estate Pioneers.

Bridget “Biddy” Mason. Mason's family moved to Los Angeles in the 1850s where she became a nurse and midwife. After saving for approximately 10 years, she purchased a home on Spring Street. The storage she provided for the horses and carriages of visitors to town was the first "parking lot" in Los Angeles. Mason purchased more property and used her earning to help build schools, hospitals, and churches. She eventually because one of the wealthiest women in Los Angeles, with a fortune that reached almost $9M in 2022 dollars.

Mary Ellen Pleasant. Pleasant became one of the country's first self-made, female millionaires. With a substantial inheritance after her husband's passing, Mary would hide her wealth, working as a cook and housekeeper. Quietly, and often, she invested her money; purchased and built properties to be used as high-end boarding houses; operated as a lender; and traded silver for profit. She amassed an incredible fortune by 1875, estimated at $812 million in 2022 dollars.

The Juxtaposition of Bay Area Wealth. After a recent tour of a million dollar property with encampment views, the stark contrast on wealth in the Bay Area caused me to do a little research on the realities of how money is flowing in and out, creating very little progress for society’s toughest issues.

Statistics are generalities, essentially summaries of widely disparate data generated by dozens, hundreds or thousands of unique, individual sales occurring within different time periods. They are best seen not as precise measurements, but as broad, comparative indicators, with reasonable margins of error. Anomalous fluctuations in statistics are not uncommon, especially in smaller, expensive market segments. Last period data should be considered estimates that may change with late-reported data. Different analytics programs sometimes define statistics - such as "active listings," "days on market," and "months supply of inventory" - differently: what is most meaningful are not specific calculations but the trends they illustrate. Most listing and sales data derives from the local or regional multi-listing service (MLS) of the area specified in the analysis, but not all listings or sales are reported to MLS and these won't be reflected in the data. "Homes" signifies real-property, single-household housing units: houses, condos, co-ops, townhouses, duets and TICs (but not mobile homes), as applicable to each market. City/town names refer specifically to the named cities and towns, or their MLS areas, unless otherwise delineated. Multi­county metro areas will be specified as such. Data from sources deemed reliable, but may contain errors and subject to revision. All numbers to be considered approximate. Many aspects of value cannot be adequately reflected in median and average statistics: curb appeal, age, condition, amenities, views, lot size, quality of outdoor space, "bonus" rooms, additional parking, quality of location within the neighborhood, and so on. How any of these statistics apply to any particular home is unknown without a specific comparative market analysis.
