Wow ! The market action index took a big plunge right about time the stock market was going south.

But has rebounded strongly since that time. It is almost like the market took a real shot - then caught its breath - and then buyers started realizing what a fabulous place the older and most northern neighborhoods of Palo Alto are.

As an aisde the Facebook building on Hamilton Avenue is for sale at $9.1M.
