San Jose, A city known as Silicon Valley
San Jose is the third-largest city in California and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is located at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is also known as Silicon Valley. San Jose was once a small farming city, until it attracted suburban newcomers in new housing developments between the 1960s and 1990s. Since then, San Jose has become the largest city in Northern California. Its estimated population by the US Census Bureau as of 2008 is 948,279. The greater metropolitan area contains approximately 7.4 million residents.
San Jose was founded on November 29, 1777 and it was named El Pueblo de San Jos? de Guadalupe. San Jose is the first town in the Spanish colony of Nueva California. San Jose’s role was to become a farming community that supports the Spanish military installations located in San Francisco and Monterey. When California became an official state in the year 1850, San Jose served as its first capital. By the 1990s, San Jose’s location within the booming local technology industry earned the city the nickname Capital of Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley is a name derived from the fact that San Jose is the largest city in the valley and the idea that most microchips use silicon in their products. San Jose is also home to schools such as University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Santa Cruz, San Jos? State University, San Francisco State University, California State University, East Bay, Santa Clara University, and Stanford University which produce thousands of engineering and computer science graduates every year. A few years ago, these graduates would have the greatest time in choosing which company to work for in the valley, but because of the recession, this is not the case.
The tech industry along with other industries, such as the real estate industry was hit hard by the economic recession. Real estate forecasters expect that the worst has yet to come and here’s why.
As expected, all real estate forecasts and emerging trends for 2010, say the same thing. It says that the real estate market has almost hit rock bottom. This means that all rents and property values have continued to fall across virtually every commercial real estate sector and across almost every market. These are only but a few effects of the economic recession. To most of us, the recession means fewer jobs, no promotions and lost homes, but to some it screams opportunities.
Industry experts see the potential of near-term investments once the real estate hits bottom. The deluge of loan workouts, write downs, defaults and foreclosures will be taken advantaged by patient, cash-rich investors, who, with some fortunate timing, will be able to tap some very attractive buying opportunities at low prices. Another thing investor’s take advantage of during this time is leasing; this is because rents are marginally lowered during a recession.
According to forecasters, now is the time to take advantage of low prices while the economy is recovering. This is because, one, you can get better deals at lower prices and, two, spending during the recession will help stimulate the economy as it helps recover from the losses it incurred during the last two years.
