Recent fire by 280 and Meridian forces us to think.

One of my clients bought in San Ramon and had to buy a special wildfire insurance. All locations with rolling hills, a lot of grass makes the areas susceptible.

These areas are in the Silicon Valley or barely an hour from the valley and the fire danger lurking puts all of us at severe risk and higher insurance premiums. This should be included while understanding the costs of home-ownership.

The risk abounds in areas like Saratoga, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Los Altos,  San Ramon, Fremont and other areas.

For some this may not even be an issue, but when it comes to actually understanding the cost of ownership, this should be considered as a factor. This one factor itself may result in about 50 to 250 dollars per month in cost of the home per month. This at times may be about 3 to 10% of the cost of the home.
