Verbatim: “26 year old Google guy i hear with 50% down.”

You can rest assured overbids are still happening all too often. So here’s another one for you: 2171 Sacramento #3, 1 bed, 1 bath, … Continue reading Verbatim: “26 year old Google guy i hear with 50% down.”

The reasons for my absence: Market Activity on three levels
I know, I know. I’ve been MIA, but there is a reason. A good one. Or two. Actually three. You see, when I get caught up in this blog, reading comments, and reporting on what I see “virtually” I almost get the sense the market has cooled. It has cooled, but not nearly to the … Continue reading The reasons for my absence: Market Activity on three levels

1330 Chestnut…a done deal
I can’t believe how many people are asking me about 1330 Chestnut, and I haven’t had time to check (cough…bull shit!)…but it is now sold. Asking $1,495,000 sold $1,550,000 and only spent 15 days (during the mortgage crisis) on the market. Reminder: If you were to receive the sfnewsletter either from me, or your Realtor/Mortgage … Continue reading 1330 Chestnut…a done deal
Tiffany…you’re sooooo…in contract!? (95 Tiffany)
From kenny “Wow. This one surprised me. 7 days on the market? On Tiffany? If this isn’t an indicator that many micro-markets are thriving — not just the especially well heeled neighborhoods — I don’t know what is. In the middle of this scare, Tiffany street commands this type of activity?” Maybe it’s the green … Continue reading Tiffany…you’re sooooo…in contract!? (95 Tiffany)
Find your way to the Mid-Century…modern (429 Burnett)

It is indeed an “Entertainer’s Dream”, so don’t forget we make a great fresh lime … Continue reading Find your way to the Mid-Century…modern (429 Burnett)

636 Steiner…an offer and a UFC style beat down!
by Alexander Clark If you’ve never seen an Ultimate Fighting Championship match you’ll have no idea what I’m talking about, and I know it’s a stretch comparing writing an offer to stepping into the Octagon and taking on the likes of Chuck Liddell, but to some of my clients, they truly feel they are getting … Continue reading 636 Steiner…an offer and a UFC style beat down!

1771 North Point: A done deal…and no price! :-(
It’s another one of those damn “non-disclosure agreements” that is going to spoil our ability to accurately track sales around the city in real time for homes, and especially trophy properties. Yes indeed, 1771 North Point is scheduled to close escrow tomorrow (July 13th, 2007), and they’re not sharing the price. Oh well…it sold, and … Continue reading 1771 North Point: A done deal…and no price! :-(
