paycheck, and sit the focus of tonight's building a better bay area segment. find out who says right now is a really good time to buy a house. >> yeah, it was like 11:30, and they said they were evacuating us. >> ordered to get out. tonight, we're live with the ordeal people in the east bay went through to avoid a possible gas explosion. maxine's accomplishments have been unprecedented. she was the world champion at 12. >> world champion in the sport of fly casting. and she trains right here in the bay area. >> live where you live, this is "abc7 news." >> i think that there's been a definite slowdown. >> we put the house on the market september 29th. and it sold in three days. >> a house is probably the most valuable thing you'll ever own.

so is it a better time to buy or sell? thanks for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm larry beil. the bay area is infamous for its record setting house prices. we're going to look at what could change prices in the near future, part of our commitment to building a better bay area, focusing on the big issues that impact the quality of life for all of us. >> so let's get some perspective. this shows the increase in home values over the past two decades. the current nationwide median home price of $220,000, pretty much equals the down payment for a home in san jose right now. the south bay city is the only place in the country where the median price tops seven figures. >> chris nguyen spent the day talking with real estate experts and tells us why this is a good time to buy. chris? >> reporter: all the signs point to a softer market, but experts

say it won't last for long, as home ownership becomes somewhat of a luxury good here in california. after years on the up, the bay area's red hot housing market appears to be cooling off. >> to me this is a nor normal market. >> reporter: estavo gonzalez put this east san jose home on the market about a month ago and expects it to sell in the next week or two. >> people are still working here and making good money, and they want homes. so there's a limited supply, lots of demand. >> reporter: the california association of realtors recently shared a somber forecast for the statehousing market in 2019, expecting rising interest rates and a lack of affordable housing to stall some of the record setting prices we've seen. >> there's more inventory online today than there was a year ago. and that's partially because as home prices get more expensive, it's harder and harder for buyers to scrape together that down payment.

>> reporter: bucking the trend, anna to aa sold her home in thr days. >> my husband is an engineer and this is where the jobs are. we could go to austin, texas, but why? we like california. >> reporter: in sunny vail, this home was just lowered by $250,000, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing. in fact, he thinks it will help generate some extra bucks. >> look at the quality of what you're buying, not just the price. if you're looking for a nice home with a good commute that you want to have, then go for it, understanding the market will fluctuate. >> reporter: home prices will go up by about 3.1% next year. the total sales, however, are expected to go down. now, because of our strong economy, the experts say you should still buy a home as soon as you can. reporting in san jose, i'm chris nguyen, "abc7 news." about half of the people in

the bay area rent their home, so let's take a look at the situation for renters specifically. nationwide, renters are seeing a first decrease in years, we're seeing the second one in the bay area. twice it's gone down here in san francisco. you can see one drop here and the second right here. it dropped about half a percent. that doesn't mean necessarily you're paying less. san francisco has rent control that limits how much rents can go up annually. this year rents increased 1.6%. oakland also has rent control, but calculates the increase differently and allowed a 3.4% increase this year. so if you're paying $3,000 a month, that's an extra $100. there are four different propositions on next month's ballot that deal with housing. this repeals a current law that excepts apartments built after 1995. proposition 5, if passed, would allow all homeowners over 55 to

be eligible for a property tax save fings if they move. then there's proposition 2. california could use county mental health funds to pay for housing for those with a mental illness or are homeless. proposition 1 would allow the state to sell $4 billion in bond for veterans and affordable housing. >> "abc7 news" was in oakland when the mayor joined housing advocates and veterans to urge voters to support prop 1. with the election only 19 days away, the state's lack of housing and its homeless crisis are getting a lot of attention. >> no one deserves to spend a single night sleeping on the streets, sleeping in their cars, or not sleeping at all from the fear that they will lose their housing any minute. >> it's estimated the measure will fund at least 50,000 housing units across the state

and create 137,000 jobs. opponents say we need solutions that make it more cost effective for builders to construct housing rather than have taxpayers subsidize it. earlier, we brought you the story of jane, an oakland woman that works two jobs and can only afford to live in her car. jane will be appearing monday morning to share her story. "abc7 news" received an outpouring from people in the community wanting to help jane find a place to live. showing that it takes your help to build a better bay area. we want your perspective and ideas. share your thoughts to join our commitment to building a better bay area. right now, crews are trying to piece together what led up to a fire inside a utility vault in the east bay. it forced thousands of people from their homes, from last night all the way up until this afternoon. that fire started last night in bay point as a grass fire, but

it then ignited natural gas that was leaking from an underground chevron pipeline. it took firefighters nearly 15 hours to get this under control. just in the past few hours, pg&e give us a photo of two little birds they think may have flown into a power line sparking the blaze. the combination of fire and natural gas is what made this particularly dangerous for residents. >> all the makings were there for a potential disaster. >> now, because of that potential, close to 4,000 were given evacuation orders last night, out of an abundance of caution. they were just allowed to return as we said a few hours ago. "abc7 news" roseporter leslie brinkley is live now. leslie? >> reporter: the fire was just two blocks from where i'm standing when that call went out last night, that urgent call to evacuate. middle of the night, 4,000 people were awakened and told to

leave their homes immediately. >> the sheriffs came to our house at 12:30 last night, banging on the door, mandatory evacuation. woke me up. i had to wake my five kids up. >> how do you keep five kids calm at a shelter? >> it was very traumatizing. they were very scared. i told them there was a fire, and the police wanted us to be safe. >> reporter: at first, people were directed to the pittsburgh bay point b.a.r.t. station where they slept in their cars until the sun came up. eventually, they moved to the gym at this college. others ended up at the calvary temple church in concord. red cross took over, dolling out blankets and breakfast, as families rolled in with pets and wheelchair bound relatives. others chose to camp out in their pickup trucks surrounded by their prized possessions. >> what is that like to evacuate at night with a baby? >> scary, yeah. i didn't have a carrier for my

cat or anything, so she's just sitting in my car. >> reporter: we talked out to the car to check and sugar seemed just fine, as the evacuation order dragged on into the afternoon. the all-clear came at 2:30, relief as people returned home. this neighbor is fuming because he says his familier in got notification to evacuate. he figured it out as he drove to work. >> i mean, there's got to be something for everybody. i mean, this bunch of houses with a lot of kids around here. i hope they were notified, but we weren't. >> no call, no nothing is >> no call, no banging on the door, nothing. >> reporter: after we talked to joe about an app, he -- [ technical difficulties ] >> as you can see, they're playing basketball in the background. everything is back to normal. you know how you can tell

this comes just months after a shocking report from a pennsylvania grand jury accusing the catholic church of coverup. in a statement, the bishop said there will no longer be a culture of secrecy but one of transparency and accountability. our work will not be complete until all harmed have received assistance in healing and until the evil of child sexual abuse has been eradicated from society. for other victims of sex abuse, john has this message. >> you can live a productive life. you've been victimized, that's not fair. but if you choose to live your life in a productive and positive manner, you can do it. >> catholics say it's time to heal. >> the church will survive. a lot of prayer. >> reporter: and many say that the healing process could take some time. menti the oakland diocese is planning to release their own names. if there are other victims, you

warning, california. a handful of billionaires have spent over $70 million on campaigns to undermine our public schools. and electing a former wall street banker named marshall tuck to superintendent of public instruction is all a part of the billionaires' plan to take money away from neighborhood public schools and give it to their corporate charter schools. that's why tony thurmond is the only candidate endorsed by classroom teachers for superintendent of public instruction. because keeping our kids safe and improving our neighborhood public schools is always tony's top priority.

live where you live, this is "abc7 news." [ screaming ] >> hang on, everybody. this is just a simulation, but it could become reality because we live in earthquake country. that's why preparations are vital to making sure everybody knows what to do.

>> reporter: an earthquake happens somewhere in the world every two to three days. even though the odds of that happening in california are slim, it's important to be prepared, which is why events like the great california shakeout are so important. the big draw is this earthquake simulator called the big shaker. it's where i met janelle, who showed me these tips. as soon as we sat down for the interview, take a look at what happened. >> you cannot predict -- oh! that was a magnitude 8 quake that lasted only a few seconds. so imagine in it lasted 15 seconds or more what kind of damage it would do, which is why, thanks to fema grants, the earthquake authority started the brace and bolt program. where qualified homeowners can get $3,000 towards retro fitting. >> here in the bay area, construction is expensive, but these retro fits are about

$6,000 in the bay area, so $3,000 goes a long way. >> reporter: some of the worst devastation from the 1989 quake was in san francisco's marina district, where fires destroyed buildings. today, those buildings still stand. they've been redesigned to withstand earthquakes. we're joined now by scaler, the co-founder of this company. if folks can't to do it at home, what do they need to do? >> the top level, food and water, first aid kit, a hygiene kit, shelter and warmth. tools and personal communication, and you want to have access to electricity. >> there are so many other things you didn't mention. all of those are listed on abc7news.com. dion limb, "abc7 news." thank you. and as she mentioned, you'll

waiting, yes! >> reporter: she says she was too patient, giving sunrooms america the benefit of the doubt for delays. by the time she filed a fraud complaint, the credit card company said it was too late. >> i lost hope because they said that that's nothing they can do. >> reporter: suzanne martindale. >> you're supposed to report a dispute like this within 60 days. so your credit card company is under no mandatory obligation to do something after that. >> reporter: we contacted discover and explained the situation. william and constance who ran the company, could get several dozen years in prison. they are being held on $500,000 bail. discover eventually credited the full $9,000 back to jana. >> thank you, thank you, thank you so much. i was just so happy. >> reporter: quite a different

in's a difference. kerr said they're a few games away and playing at high altitude will definitely help. >> we have the foundation. when i say get in shape, it's just getting over the final hump. they've had three weeks of basketball work. they're not getting sore out there, that's what happens in the beginning of the camp, your muscles are sore, you're not used to doing all the work. we have the foundation underneath us. >> if you missed it during the ring ceremony, a funny exchange happened between the owner and kevin durant. he gestured to durant he'll give him his ring only if he signs a new contract. durant signed a one and one deal, meaning he'll likely go through free agency next off-season. historic night for the lakers. lebron james will make his debut when l.a. tips off the season in

portland. james spent the first 15 years of his career in the eastern conference, making it to eight straight nba finals. now he's wearing the purple and gold and trying to restore that lakers mystique. >> it's all about patience and every single day, you're coming into a new system. we're all learning each other every day. so patience is the biggest challenge. all my coaches want to figure out a way how to lessen my minutes. i keep telling them i'm stronger when i play more. but they won't listen to me. now to college football. stanford is in the valley of the sun, trying to avoid their first three-game losing streak in the david shaw arizona. brice love is back after missing the last game with a bum ankle. tough going, six carries for seven yards in the first half. both teaming struggling in the first 15 minutes. asu getting down the field here, with a 51-yard completion. that would set up a field goal.
