Cole Valley Property Gets 30 Offers

Because one offer isn’t enough, 135 Parnassus (a teeny – tiny 1192 sqft, 2 bed, 1 bath condo) in the heart center of Cole Valley, just blew the roof off of reality. Sure, priced crazy low at $799,000 (actually, I would have priced it similarly because it did have some issues), but still…30 offers? Come … Continue reading Cole Valley Property Gets 30 Offers

It Is Certainly Brisk Out, And We’re Not Talking Weather

Somebody has certainly turned the tap on with regards to San Francisco real estate. Case in point (like we need to see more), 1998 Broadway #1007. I just called on this Pacific Heights property to get an appointment for a client to take a look at it next Tuesday. How foolish of me to think … Continue reading It Is Certainly Brisk Out, And We’re Not Talking Weather

The Best Time To Sell Since San Francisco Real Estate Went Bust…Is Now

I’ve often said, if you can’t say it better yourself, just plagiarize. Or something like that. ;-) Even if it means sharing information from a “competing” brokerage. Mark McLaughlin is the CEO of local real estate company Pacific Union. His recent article pretty much sums up my thoughts exactly. Especially, if you live in Cole … Continue reading The Best Time To Sell Since San Francisco Real Estate Went Bust…Is Now

Four Buyers In Four Days…And 121 Beulah, How Did It End?

Hi all! I just wanted to give a little update to you from my world of San Francisco real estate. In my humble opinion, the market is extremely hot for the right properties.

394 Frederick, Before, After, Here And Gone (In Contract After 7 Days): $2,399,000

True, the market tanked. True, average home prices have come down in San Francisco. True, even A+ areas like Noe Valley and Pacific Heights have felt the pinch. False, it is death doom and destruction everywhere. Case in point, 394 Frederick St @ Belvedere in Cole Valley, is an awesome 4 bed, 4 bath, 3173 … Continue reading 394 Frederick, Before, After, Here And Gone (In Contract After 7 Days): $2,399,000

12 Offers On One Property In This Market?

The story for 214 Dorland is not something you’d expect to hear in this market. More than 20 disclosure packages were handed out, an offer date was set (on April Fool’s Day no less), and contrary to what most would think, the offers came streaming in…12 of them to be exact. To counter those that … Continue reading 12 Offers On One Property In This Market?

Ripple In Still Waters, Lake District Condo Moves Fast (64 7th Ave)

Although MLS still reflects the Lake District condominium at 64 7th Ave (3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1 pk, $1,535,000) as “active”, sources close to the sale are telling us it is in contact after a short five days on the market. Call it luck, call it buyers that don’t read the newspapers (bless them), or … Continue reading Ripple In Still Waters, Lake District Condo Moves Fast (64 7th Ave)
