WordPress has been notified, and we are not posting any new content until the commenting is fixed. Thank you for your patience.] We thought this important enough to put up on the front page. A reader just recently commented: … Continue reading Commenting on our blog
733 Front unit 203 now showing
Not quite sure what their email to me meant by being “one of the first to tour [their] model home” unit #203 (asking $725,000) this Tuesday from 1:30-3:30, since I’d already been in the building sans furniture, but you might like to get in there, so here’s your chance. (I’m assuming the unit is now … Continue reading 733 Front unit 203 now showing

If you have the time, scan the links, then make sure to read “Some Reactions as well. Thanks to DL for sending the link and this quote below: The Fed leaving … Continue reading Mortgage Reportage
Downtown is getting more UPtown… (Transbay Terminal)
Having been out of office chasing bears, inhaling unhealthy doses of dust and smoke (not those kinds), and gazing at the zillions of stars that exist above (it’s foggy most nights in the Richmond), it’s time to get back in the swing of things. What better way to get things going than with a few … Continue reading Downtown is getting more UPtown… (Transbay Terminal)

Orbitz, Travelocity, Hotwire? Nope, just a Realtor incentive.
From one Realtor to another, the incentives are there. You just need to know where to look, or hope this shows up in your email. We’re keeping anonymity on this, but putting it out there for your viewing pleasure. It is not a totally stale listing, but has been on since at least April. ****Close … Continue reading Orbitz, Travelocity, Hotwire? Nope, just a Realtor incentive.

We are not a Bubble Blog
I pulled this from one of many comments by our readers that I’m sure often get over-looked. I thought some of you that are only skimming the front page of this blog might find it interesting…I did. [Edited slightly] “I was just thinking of something. If there was a blog dedicated to simply highlighting how … Continue reading We are not a Bubble Blog
San Francisco Business Times…an un-paid plug
We’ve mentioned this in a few posts from time to time, but we’re saying it again…If you want to know what is going down with “big” real estate deals, big and new developments, office leasing, and all that sort of business, you absolutely must read the Biz Times. It is a weekly publication and can … Continue reading San Francisco Business Times…an un-paid plug
An offer date that came and went (366 Montcalm in Bernal Heights)
A reader just fired this to us, and since we happen to be sitting at the computer (go figure) we’ll just throw it up without any real editorial genius, and hope our readers or Stammtisch can provide some insight. 366 Montcalm ($649,000), a two bed, one bath “condo alternative” on the North Slope of Bernal … Continue reading An offer date that came and went (366 Montcalm in Bernal Heights)
Polly are you out there?
Life is good when the mainstream media starts reading your blog, and even better when they want to get in touch with our readers: “Polly — Your experience is an interesting one especially since I’m working on a newspaper story about FSBOs in the Bay Area and beyond. I would love to speak with you … Continue reading Polly are you out there?
Zoops!
Sometimes it sucks to be a company like Zillow that built the technology to accurately (up for debate) value more than 70,000,000 homes (without ever going in them), but damnit if that email send button isn’t a bitch to figure out. We might add…this was a mass email, not a personal email.
