Yacura ended up moving to an apartment 11 years ago; now, 75 per cent of the tenants are seniors. Two years ago, they got together and brought services to them, like lectures, potluck dinners and exercise classes. “I can’t imagine myself moving at this point,” she said.

Rather, these studies show the overvaluation of Southern California homes compared with historical patterns is not massive on a national scale. Homes in San Diego, worth $947,000, were 24 percent too high, by this math — the No. Fitch sees both San Francisco and San Jose as risky as San Diego — 15 percent to 19 percent overvalued.
