That is a $300,000 difference… This isn’t just a house; it is a 1958 … Continue reading A Great Deal in Clarendon Heights: Home Sells for $300,000 Under Asking

    Happy New Year’s Eve. Before we pop the champagne and ring in 2026, we have to mention this sale that closed just last week on Christmas Eve.

    Just Sold! 350 Dolores St. | Mission Dolores | $1,074,000
