I wonder what his taxes and maintenance will be on that place. Of course, I’m sure the buyer doesn’t really care.

Penthouse homes such as these are truly limited comodities and hardly a realistic comp for the rest of the building; but it doesn’t hurt either!

What I hope is that many of the bubbleheads on various blogs who live in the city move OUT of the city to relieve the traffic and congestion and go buy in Antioch or whateve. Let’s leave the city and its utility to homeowners.

I know this one renter who’s 40 next year and started a housing blog site. He rents for $2,900/month in Pac heights. His rent is going up to $3,200 next year. Can’t wait to read his blog when that starts happening

we had one of these deals go down in my building a few years back. one of the biggest money managers on the west coast wrote a check for 5 of the 6 units on the top floor of one of our towers. it was for his parents and all their health care providers. nice to have money.

what i found quite interesting at the time, aside from the 1400+/sq/ft comps he gave me, was that we were competing with the fairmont. our patio’s/balconies won him over and our location.

these deals are great for any building.

It’s great to see Michael Minna open up a restaurant. No wonder selling prices are so high in SOMA now. Pretty high quality stuff come all around!

Nice examples of Lower Pac Heights going bonkers. Beautiful buildings.

The person who bought the $11M penthouse left a check in full amount instead of 10% deposit. Actually, the secretary did. Don’t ask me why.

When you say contact us if considering purchasing a unit, do you mean you are one of their sales agents or are you just offering advice? [Editor's note: Getting hit from all sides today, read this about Alex Clark.]
