		<description>there is another great one. a condo is for sale at 1414 noe.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://medialaxf.rapmls.com/sfarmls/listingpics/bigphoto/057/342357.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;picture here &lt;/a&gt; (the inside is pretty much normal and clean and nice)



let&#039;s see. Is repainting the whole facade at the expenses of the sole seller more or less than the depreciation of the unit for sale?

(depreciation not only because of the blue - but because it might imply some issues with the co-condo owner...)



or is that blue all new paint? arggggggggggggggh ;-)  At least show some quality paint and a different color for the trims (orange anybody?)



-------------

re facade colors. we lost a beautiful one. There was a silver (yes, silver, like glitter silver) house on Duncan (dolores/church) with lime trims. It got repainted plain gray same lime trims. Now it just look &quot;nice&quot; :-(</description>

		<description>yeah... some refreashing color choices, to make us forget forever about &quot;american bone&quot; coloring (that I HATE!).

What is intersting though is to see that the current owners BOUGHT the house WITH the purple palette, and maintained it that way, and a reselling it that way. So yes, there is a market beyond the &quot;beige&quot; market.

San Francisco can be proud of its diverse and world class architecture. Why sell it blaaaaaaaaaaaaah painted in beige?
Yes, as a marketing strategy, purple will turn off some potential buyers, but you know for sure that some buyers will be such in love that they might overbid-war to get it.

Last, I&#039;m not a purple lady. I dont fancy the coloring presented on that house. BUT after years of all weather in san Francisco, I have to say that indoors purple is the perfect framing to a stunning view sprinkled with fog - and the opposite is true too: beige framing will make the fog just as pitiful and depressing.

Anyway, keep us posted on the closing of that beauty.</description>
