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

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

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”

4065 25th Street: A Done Deal, and Our Fun Spoiled

It appears our little Wager on 4065 25th Street, and how much over the $2,750,000 asking price it will sell, will be foiled. The parties involved have signed a confidentiality agreement, and the price will not be disclosed through MLS. (Our price guess was $2,895,900, but know it went closer to $2,950,000.) To all those that participated in … Continue reading 4065 25th Street: A Done Deal, and Our Fun Spoiled

$$$ 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

Nothing to do with Real Estate

While watching the gut-wrenching defeat of the Warriors by the Jazz last night, I couldn’t help but notice a couple things, and I wish I had a picture to illustrate: 1. How many white people (I’m white) were in the Arena, or do they call it… Arian(a). 2. How many of the Jazz players were … Continue reading Nothing to do with Real Estate

Some Makeup (a little), Some Elbow-Grease (a lot), Some Action (a ton)

Way back in 1999, the now owners of 1326 15th Avenue saw gold in that thar pink (or is that peach) wreck of a home. Purchased for $490,000 (roughly 10% below asking), it is now a beautiful 5 bed, 3.5 bath, single family/2-unit (depending on how you look at it) and on the market for … Continue reading Some Makeup (a little), Some Elbow-Grease (a lot), Some Action (a ton)

Unique is an Understatement (2901 Pine)

[Update: Sold June 2007 for $2,300,000] 2901 Pine St. is one of those properties you only wish you had the guts to do (assuming you’re remodeling). The place is sweet! (In our opinion) We literally just walked out of there and were so impressed, we came to post. You must check it out. Formerly a … Continue reading Unique is an Understatement (2901 Pine)

Follow up to Reason we live here #1

On March 29th, we posted our very first reason we live herewith 3335 Clay, a 2bed, 2 bath condo in Presidio Heights asking $1,125,000, and a reader kindly commented there is “no way this property sells for over a million”. We’re not out to prove anyone wrong, or discount our readers (we love all of … Continue reading Follow up to Reason we live here #1
