Google Employees Affect Real Estate Prices in California Town
The Wall Street Journal story (free to non-subscribers): Searching for a Home In Atherton, Calif.? Look Out for Googlers, reports on the booming price of real estate in this California town due in part to Googlers taking profits from stock sales and using the money to purchase homes.
More than half a dozen Google employees have bought Atherton houses for between $3.5 million and $17.8 million since September, say local brokers, and another dozen Googlers are still looking to buy in the town. “There’s been an obvious Google effect,” says Tom Dallas, a local broker who specializes in homes in Atherton and neighboring towns. “I estimate 25% to 35% of recent upper-end home sales, meaning sales over $7 million, are from Google people.”
