You better sit down for this. Dropping an extra million or two on top of an already massive asking price just to win the keys sounds like absolute madness… but in San Francisco, that is exactly what it takes to win. If you thought the market was taking a nap, prepare to be completely floored. We have the staggering numbers on five recent properties that ignited fierce bidding wars and closed for over $1,000,000 above their list price. The Bay Area remains an absolute battlefield.
