Over at TiVoCommunity, there's a long running thread "Wow...I didn't realize housing market was this bad...Everyone okay out there?"
Here's a recent post by someone over there:
"This house in Sunnyvale was listed for $1,888,000.00 and sold in less than a week for $2,210,000.00 (over $320K over asking)...

This is nuts!"
My response was:
That's crazy! I have a friend who lives near there (or did). He bought a long time ago and even then, it was expensive.
I'd posted about the catalytic converter stolen off my former 06 Prius (sold to my dad 2 years ago) on social media. That friend pinged me today about my post saying his neighbor's catalytic converter also got stolen off their Prius, he believes also gen 2, like mine. Friend has a gen 3 Prius + 2 other cars so he wanted opinions about which to park in the garage.
We all live in the southern part of the SF Bay Area.

Listing is at https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/M7953941672 for $599K and it's pending. From the listing:
6 bed 6.5 bath 10,799 sqft 12 acre lot
17329 Hidden Valley Dr, Wildwood, MO, 63025
My response was:
For the size of house and lot, it would be a BARGAIN in the Bay Area. Heck, even if it needed $600K of work to fix it, it'd still be a bargain.
However, I have no idea about that area or the value of other houses in that area.
