theFrontSteps – San Francisco

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 [...]

Not a whole lot of inventory has hit the market this week. A quick glance at the MLS today shows 43 new SFR (single family residence) listings. Of them, two are in the Sunset, three in the Excelsior, two in Crocker Amazon, two in Portola, and one in Bayview.  All of the other new SFR [...]

From our reader: Is any house in the central sunset worth 1.4 million? The average price in the central sunset 800k -900k.

Recently, we’ve been contacted by more than a dozen Realtors asking if we could “plug” their listings. 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 could make a little $$ from it, and help get the word out [...]

Not your typical Central Sunset home to say the least. Enjoy being the first to get a look inside this 3 bed, 3 bath, custom built, view home at 1575 20th Ave (website and more pics will be up soon). Asking $1,285,000. This house is SWEET! (yes caps) The front: The courtyard: The back: The [...]

Hats off to Katy Dinner, or whoever it was that put this information together, and thanks for sending it our way. Some examples of what else you’ll find by following the link below: A two bedroom condo in the Marina will set you back a cool $1,237,000, but in Hayes Valley it will only set [...]
