Tuesday Tour: Liked


1110 Fulton, a 2 bed, 1.5 bath condo right across the street from Alamo Square Park. I especially like the fact it has had a recent price reduction from $989,000 to $975,000. The property is very similar to 256 Page, but not quite as high end. Location is great, price was wrong. It will not … Continue reading Tuesday Tour: Liked

Tuesday Tour: Didn’t Like


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 … Continue reading Tuesday Tour: Didn’t Like

  “But Lennar’s enterprising relationship with San Francisco City Hall — in which it has come to control much of the city’s remaining undeveloped land — gives the company unparalleled sway over how San Francisco will evolve, arguably rivaling the clout of the city’s elected leadership and the voters themselves.” But… “‘They [Lennar] have agreed … Continue reading Picture your favorite touchdown dance right here

For the love of Florence!


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.
