1326-28 15th Avenue: A Done Deal in the Inner Sunset

We showed it to you first, and before and after, then we bet on it, and now it’s closed…1326-28 15th Avenue is a done deal, and none of our readers guessed the sales price. In fact, we didn’t even come close, either. It might not actually be marked sold in MLS yet, but we know … Continue reading 1326-28 15th Avenue: A Done Deal in the Inner Sunset

Church of Skate?

Having driven by this construction project on the corner of 14th Ave and Clement countless times, I finally stopped, shot, and unfortunately couldn’t roll. And now I’m forced to quit dreaming. According to the construction crew, it is going to be a synagogue, and the vertical sides perfect for a frontside air, or McTwist, will … Continue reading Church of Skate?

3130 Pacific, Priced to sell at $12,495,000

[Update 7/12/07…SOLD…$14,000,000!!] Since its neighbor at 3100 Pacific was asking $15,000,000, received 2 offers and just closed escrow for a price we’re not disclosing, it is only fitting the other newest new home in Pacific Heights, 3130 Pacific right next door, should come on the market too (hit MLS).   It is asking a bit less than 3100 Pacific, and … Continue reading 3130 Pacific, Priced to sell at $12,495,000

2901 Broadway, a Google drive-by

We had so much fun comparison shopping with 2901 Broadway (the $55,000,000 listing we have here in San Francisco), we thought why not do a drive by and scare the ___ out of the Gettys and Ellison, and Trainas, who live on this block? Not that kind of drive by, but a Google drive by, with … Continue reading 2901 Broadway, a Google drive-by

99 Surrey: A done deal in Glen Park for UNDER ASKING!

The teensy weensy 790 square foot “condo alternative” at 99 Surrey in Glen Park that had all the blogs abuzz, has sold. Asking $599,000 sold for $573,000 or $725/square foot. It did also have “RH-2 lot with renderings of contemporary 2 unit building with parking”, so we’re thinking we’ll be hearing about this in a … Continue reading 99 Surrey: A done deal in Glen Park for UNDER ASKING!

1326-28 15th Avenue: an update, and wager

Following up to our previous post about 1326-28 15th Avenue (awesome before shots, so make sure to click that link), we know it received multiple offers, and it is scheduled to close June 4th, 2007.  We thought we’d do another little wager. We’re staying out of this one. We leave it up to you. Here … Continue reading 1326-28 15th Avenue: an update, and wager

1771 North Point: A quick follow up

Previously, we posted about 1771 North Point, and at the time we promised not to disclose the asking price, only had a link to a temporary website, and only had photos that we had taken ourselves. Ahhh, but now we have more. They are, in fact, asking $4,995,000.  The home is 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, … Continue reading 1771 North Point: A quick follow up

zūm llc: a 3D “picture medley”

Ever hear the Jane’s Addiction song, “L.A. Medley”? If not, you should. We recently discovered zūm llc as the company that has done some 3D renderings for some of the new developments around town (The Potrero, Blū, Fairmont Heritage Place at Ghirardelli Square, 733 Front Street) and we decided they are deserving of our first … Continue reading zūm llc: a 3D “picture medley”

“The Definitive Blog on San Francisco Neighborhoods”

We didn’t say it, but we love when other people do. Of course…we do use their graphs and charts on our sfnewsletter, so maybe they’re a bit biased, but hell…it feels good nonetheless. “Lots of pictures, a highlighted neighborhood map, and commentary on the homes currently on the market. Just outstanding. I’d encourage our realtor … Continue reading “The Definitive Blog on San Francisco Neighborhoods”

Is What We’ve Been Saying for Months Finally Catching On?

“Bay Area’s housing prices buck national trend, Median cost is up 6.6%, driven by strong upscale market, but number of homes sold is down 20%” (source: SFGate) “-The Bay Area appears to be shaking off the nation’s housing doldrums. Local home prices are still going through the roof, even though far fewer properties are changing … Continue reading Is What We’ve Been Saying for Months Finally Catching On?

$$$ Real Estate Marketing

As much as I love my fellow Realtors (R), sometimes I wonder where they get their “marketing remarks”, and how they tie them into the rest of their materials. Take for example, 9 Massasoit St in Bernal Heights. It just hit the market and it has “$$$ Bay View”, yet the 76+% of internet home … Continue reading $$$ Real Estate Marketing

218 Cole: Damnit! It happened Again

Recently, I wrote an offer for some clients on 256 Page, and if you click that link, you’ll see we got completely blown out of the water. Well, we just wrote another offer on 218 Cole, and again got blown out of the water. Here’s the story: The property is a nice…nothing stellar…3 bed, 1 … Continue reading 218 Cole: Damnit!
