31 Aug Paragon Market Analytics in the Media
Data is the foundation for making informed decisions regarding the purchase, sale, and ongoing ownership of real estate, which is why Paragon makes such a huge effort to generate straightforward, reliable and detailed market analytics far beyond the scope of other brokerages.
In recent years, Paragon has become the premier source of Bay Area real estate market data and its reports are regularly cited in news media such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal MarketWatch, Bloomberg News, Financial Times, San Francisco Business Times, KGO Radio, San Francisco Chronicle, SF Examiner, KQED, Business Insider, and Curbed.
Here is a selection of some of the more recent articles from the current year in which our market reports and/or our chief market analyst have been referenced, sometimes at length and sometimes simply for a specific statistic. Please note that we don’t necessarily agree with the viewpoint or conclusions expressed in any particular article. Sometimes our statistics are taken out of context, separated from a fuller explanation, which limits their meaningfulness, and sometimes the quotations excerpted miss the main point being made in the interview. Finally, we are much more reluctant making predictions for the future than most reporters, “pundits” and “experts”.
