Скачать или смотреть Top 10 California Cities Not To Buy A Home In

California’s 2026 housing market just exposed its ugliest truth: some cities are still financial minefields for buyers, no matter what happens with mortgage rates. If you’re thinking about buying in California this year, you need to see which markets are the riskiest.

From LA’s million‑dollar “starter” homes to San Francisco’s brutal payment-to-income ratios, certain cities remain wildly out of sync with local wages, insurance realities, and long‑term risk. Even with President Trump pushing mortgage bond purchases to nudge rates lower, affordability in these markets is still stretched to the breaking point.

In this video, we break down the 10 California cities you should think twice about before buying in 2026:

✓ Why LA’s prices + payments still don’t pencil out for most buyers
✓ How Oakland, Stockton, and other working‑class markets are quietly straining
✓ Which coastal cities look like paradise but hide major insurance and climate risk
✓ Why Palm Springs, Santa Cruz, and Mendocino are no longer “safe bets” for lifestyle buyers
✓ How San Francisco became the ultimate high‑risk, high‑payment housing gamble

This isn’t about doom for clicks—it’s prices, incomes, risk, and policy all laid out so you can see where the numbers stop making sense. Watch before you write an offer, relocate, or park your down payment in the wrong California market.
