HI Matthew, that's a good question - I feel that the Mission area is going to continue being a popular area because it is a sunny part of town and their continues to be money flowing in with developments being built. You still get a lot of property for the money there and it's close to a new Whole Foods that just opened up in Potrero Hill (another hot area - sunny and getting more developed). Hope this helps - if you'd like to chat more, my contact info is at
