About once a month, on sfnewsletter, we put out our list of Stalefish Properties for our readers’ delight. Today, we thought we’d share that same list with you, and highlight some of the Stalefish swimming in that Stale Pond. – 175 Bright…future not so bright.

Typically, this is not something we do as it defeats the purpose, honesty, and transparency of this blog, but we got to thinking…why not?

We know there is a ton of interest for this property, hell…look at it. It’s beautiful. Ahhh, but it’s a Stalefish indeed. From what we can gather, 21 Buena Vista has been on the market for about 300 +/- days. First put on the market back in January of 2005 at $5,250,000, then re-listed with a different company [...]

Could somebody please help this property sell?  We just posted about 1940 Broadway and how it is practically flying off the shelf (as are most A+ properties), but for some reason 1 Florence #6 and #1 (package deal), a penthouse condo in Russian Hill, can’t get off our Stalefish ™ list.
