theFrontSteps – San Francisco

I knew this one would go superfast. You have to wonder if it wouldn’t have gone almost as fast if it were priced at 850K, tho. Anyway, anyone else see this property? It got into contract instantly. A two car garage, north slope Potrero Hill, with a 25 X 100 foot lot, for 679? Simply [...]

According to more Realtor Spam (it’s really getting out of control, but some of it is useful): Just a reminder, we are about 85% sold at our new building at 888 7th Street in the Showplace Square/lower Potrero area. We have a limited number of junior one bedrooms homes available starting at $399,000. We have [...]

As stated numerous times, we can’t do all of this without you, and appreciate your tips, suggestions, and rants, so keep them coming. One person who is particularly helpful and deserving of praise is our friend the Fluj, who this week sends us this: To my mind, the western portion of North Slope Potrero has [...]

Lots of people yapping on and on about how San Francisco listing inventory is through the roof, sales volume is in the toilet, and both median and average home prices have plummeted, but the Fluj says: Seemingly the perception is that there is a lot of inventory, but is there, really?

Pacific Heights: Average cost of a single family house: 1997: $1,706,000     2007: $5,022,000 Potrero Hill: Average cost of a multi unit building:  1997: $412,000        2007: $1,385,000 Schtuff like that.

Seems as we’re on the receiving end of just about every promo out there, and some are just too good to pass up. “It’s simple – write and close the most contracts at The Potrero between November 9th and December 31st 2007 and you could be on your way to Paris.” (You meaning us, the [...]

“Did you see the 250 Texas listing? It’s a nice North Slope pad in Potrero Hill. Worth checking out for the views and the margaritas.” We did not, but you did, so perhaps you could share more details. Should we bring extra salt, and thanks for the tip!? -Oh Kronos, you went so fast [theFrontSteps]
