For all practical purposes, housing prices are limited by the income that residents can expect to earn rather than the normal interplay of producers and consumers. The innovation and wealth creation generated by the high tech industry added a complex new variable to the equation. More wealth was created during the last 10 years in the 40 miles that lie between the Golden Gate and San Jose than in …

CALABASAS, CALIF. — Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI) reported total revenues of $117.4 million in the second quarter, compared with $209.6 million during the same period a year ago, a 44 percent decrease, according to the company’s latest quarterly results released Thursday. The precipitous drop in revenue resulted in net income of $106,000 for the second quarter that ended June 30, compared with $21.3 million for the same period in 2019.
