theFrontSteps – San Francisco

Way back when on July 3rd one of our readers, “Eddy”, sent in a post pitting two districts against each other titled “A tale of two districts”. We showcased two properties: 689 Douglass, which absolutely flew off the shelf, and ultimately sold for $2,050,000 from the $1,895,000 asking price (Close of escrow was 8/15/07). The [...]

by Greg Angilly In every market there are properties that can be obtained for below market value – many that have a strong upside. Here are two we’ve been watching for a few weeks. Our sense is these are available at or below asking and are both strong investment opportunities. 3479 Sacramento St – List [...]

Thanks to Dave, we all now know about a foreclosure at the Met: -a foreclosure at the Met [craigslist]

A reader just fired this to us, and since we happen to be sitting at the computer (go figure) we’ll just throw it up without any real editorial genius, and hope our readers or Stammtisch can provide some insight. 366 Montcalm ($649,000), a two bed, one bath “condo alternative” on the North Slope of Bernal [...]

Not too long ago, we were “Bettin’ Fools, now we’re looking more like Fools Bettin’. We predicted 2340 Larkin #2 would be sold by now…and we were wrong. We were also wrong about 1110 Fulton, but thank God we weren’t wrong too long…Fulton is, at least, on track to close escrow soon.

1110 Fulton, a property we thought would fly, did not. But…it is “pending”. Phew! Saved a little face at least. Rough day.

On April 11th, we told you about 1110 Fulton, and how we liked it, and thought it wouldn’t last at the then reduced price of $975,000 from $989,000. We were wrong. It has been reduced yet again to $959,000, and now…well…it’s on its way to our coveted list of Stalefish ™. A sign of the [...]

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 [...]

2342 42nd Ave., a 3 bed, 3 bath single family in the Outer Parkside. What I don’t like is the fact that in August of 2006 this property was listed at $1,095,000, then in March of 2007 listed at $899,000, now it is listed at $1,295,000. If it sells at $1,295,000, I’m packing up and moving to [...]

A $255,000 price reduction, pano views, and no car access to your front door all on the same $2,595,000 price tag (was $2,850,000)…308 Greenwich, a 2 bed, 3 bath single family home on the Greenwich steps.  This also falls under reason #1, Unique Property. 308 Greenwich.com [pics taken from property website]
