theFrontSteps – San Francisco

[Written by "Eddy":] One thirty seven Buelah is one of those homes that just screams San Francisco charm and it has all the makings for what many families are looking for in a home here in the city (e.g., curb appeal, close to shopping, parking, etc.) It’s no wonder that this property closed escrow back [...]

Inner-Sunset, home to much good food, a few good bars, a few bad bars, the prohibitively expensive Andronico’s, and UCSF, will soon be home to new condos. On my block alone (9th Ave., past Moraga St.) there are two sites going up or planned to go up. One is adjacent to my deck, where I [...]

We keep trying to tell you, but some of you just don’t listen…it’s a great time to be a buyer. Take for example this 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2200 square foot single family home at 34 Ashbury Terrace. Last sold in December of 2002 for $1,400,000 (not overbid btw), this home recently hit the market [...]

Hello out there, theFrontStep Readers! You may (or just as likely, may not) know my name from my blogs for Redfin. I’ve kindly been invited to write also for theFrontSteps, so here I am, on the steps, with my first blog. So here’s the setting: last night, 2:00am, sultry night, people walking up from the [...]

From a reader: Hi guys, Have you seen this listing? www.1445cole.com I live a block away, and got a little invitation in my mailbox for a “private viewing” complete with wine and snacks, [five days ago]. I couldn’t go, so I haven’t seen the property, but I thought this was definitely a new tactic–esp. in [...]

We gave you a look at the bones and early details of 17th & Clayton a long time ago on theFrontSteps.com, and we’re happy to say, they’re now ready for you to visit (literally, and virtually): Early reports are positive, and open houses were very busy (~150 people through first open house). Trophy property? We [...]

We know, we know…stop cheerleading, it doesn’t serve us well. It really doesn’t indicate any sort of bearing as to our real estate market. It’s just rubbish. It only happens on the high end, but it happens, and you need to know about it. 4924 17th St. asking $3,600,000, selling $3,900,000. Listed 10/19/2007, “pending” 10/31/2007, [...]

From Greg Angilly Deck of the Week – 1580 Masonic Ave Last week’s deck offered unreal views of San Francisco from an unsuspecting location – Hayes Valley. This week, our deck’s don’t have a single view of the city. The 2 decks in the rear of 1580 Masonic Ave face the extremely peaceful and tranquil [...]

Following up to our post regarding the new construction on the corner of 17th & Clayton, our reader “luv” sent us these pictures: What this will be is four, 4-level town homes, around 1500-1800 square feet each. Three of the homes will be 3BR/3.5BA, the fourth will be 3BR/3BA. Each home will have two decks, [...]
