Mill Valley, CA (PRWEB) May 26, 2012

James Wavro of the San Francisco property management and leasing firm J.Wavro Associates was recently featured in a Wall Street Journal article that covered the lucrative San Francisco rental market, where he explains how competition is driving rental prices sky high.

In the article, Wavro suggests part of the reason the rental market is so competitive in San Francisco is that home prices are so high that rental rates are still much cheaper than mortgage payments. He also says traditional supply and demand economics are in play, as the current boom in the technology sector keeps adding hundreds to thousands of new workers to the Bay Area every year.

This comes as no surprise to people living in San Francisco, as many residents willingly pay the price to rent a property in such a technology-fueled, innovative city. “It’s a competitive market for a reason and the people who live here know they’re paying for a location and lifestyle that are unlike any other city,” explained Wavro.

Trulia’s Winter 2012 Rent vs. Buy Index that was released in March shows just how true this rings. Trulia looked at rental prices and prices of equivalent homes across 100 metro areas, and found that it’s still smarter to rent than buy in only two of those cities, Honolulu and San Francisco.

“We have a long way to go up in rents before we achieve parity with the cost of housing,” Wavro told the Wall Street Journal.

J.Wavro has over a decade of experience finding the best rental properties in San Francisco. The latest available apartments, town-homes and houses for rent in the area can be found at www.jwavro.com.

“It’s a battle for apartments around here, but we have the biggest selection of rental properties in the area and we’ve helped a ton of people get leases.”

James Wavro, of J.Wavro Associates, was recently awarded the prestigious President’s Award for 2010 by the San Francisco Apartment Association (SFAA) at their Trophy Award Ceremony. Established in 1917, the SFAA is a non-profit organization that represents rental property owners, and provides services like political representation, an online magazine, educational resources, and news. The Trophy Awards honor firms and employees that are leaders within the rental housing industry. The President’s Award is reserved for an individual whose contributions to the rental property industry are truly above and beyond expectations.

“James Wavro is probably the hardest working, diligent, and conscientious professional I have ever had the pleasure to work with in the housing industry,” said Dave Wasserman, Ex Officio President of the SFAA. “As such, my decision to bestow the SFAA President’s Award onto him was made with utmost ease.”

The 4th Annual Trophy Awards Ceremony was held at the stately Palace Hotel in San Francisco. Over 300 rental property industry professionals donned their finest formal attire and gathered together for the cocktail hour, sit-down dinner and awards presentation ceremony.

The Trophy Awards honor the leading firms, employees and properties in the rental housing industry. For most awards, prospective honorees are nominated by colleagues or SFAA members, and sent a questionnaire packet. Their full and honest answers, and accompanying documents, are reviewed by a panel of judges who then choose the nominees and winners.

The recipient of the President’s Award, however, has no nomination process or panel of judges; this special award is decided only by the president of the SFAA and is given to select individuals for lifetime achievement of excellence in the field.

In addition to the President’s Award, San Francisco property management and leasing firm J.Wavro Associates was honored when Joanne Fazzino of J.Wavro Associates won Leasing Agent of the Year 2010.
