Just Browsing: Arterra
[photo from Arterra website] We were just browsing various websites and noticed San Francisco’s newest “green” development (Arterra) is having an HOA, W/D, and Fridge sale that ends on April 29th. That will surely put a little green in your pocket. –Arterrasf.com

How do you attract hordes of buyers to your home? Put these words in your marketing, “Bring your vision, and contractor!” In fact, if you have a totally remodeled gem just sitting on the market, you might as well make it look like hell. Fixers sell better than anything. This property, a 2 bed, 1 … Continue reading 20 on 40
Tuesday Tour: Liked
1110 Fulton, a 2 bed, 1.5 bath condo right across the street from Alamo Square Park. I especially like the fact it has had a recent price reduction from $989,000 to $975,000. The property is very similar to 256 Page, but not quite as high end. Location is great, price was wrong. It will not … Continue reading Tuesday Tour: Liked
Tuesday Tour: Didn’t Like
2342 42nd Ave., a 3 bed, 3 bath single family in the Outer Parkside. What I don’t like is the fact that in August of 2006 this property was listed at $1,095,000, then in March of 2007 listed at $899,000, now it is listed at $1,295,000. If it sells at $1,295,000, I’m packing up and moving to … Continue reading Tuesday Tour: Didn’t Like

For the love of Florence!
Could somebody please help this property sell? We just posted about 1940 Broadway and how it is practically flying off the shelf (as are most A+ properties), but for some reason 1 Florence #6 and #1 (package deal), a penthouse condo in Russian Hill, can’t get off our Stalefish ™ list. (Only available through the sfnewsletter.) They … Continue reading For the love of Florence!
A Lamp and Views for $5.6MM
1940 Broadway #9, a 3 bed, 3.5 bath stock cooperative in Pacific Heights has an accepted offer. HOAs are $2033. They’re asking $5,600,000, and have been on the market 18 days. This was the view in 2005: Only difference…HOAs were only $1567. Oh yeah, we almost forgot, and it sold for $4,650,000. Yah….you know….that high end … Continue reading A Lamp and Views for $5.6MM

Here we have a 3 bed, 1.5 bath condo at 256 Page built in 1885 asking $899,000 (perhaps a little low, but that’s how you get the activity), received 4 offers on Thursday, of which we were one of them. Our original offer was $925,000 (scared by all the media reports of a “down” market, we … Continue reading Why’s this keep happening to me?!

It happens… and a great opportunity
[Update 3/30/07: “Pending” as of today…that means it’s pretty much a done deal.] 2356 Larkin, a two bed, one bath condo in Russian Hill, hit the market for a day at $1.5MM, received an over asking offer, then promptly fell out. Now it sits. Just look past the zebra rug and wall art (we … Continue reading It happens… and a great opportunity

My client walked…
We just got this over the cyber-waves from one of our members… “Just wanted to let you know that despite the market being ‘down’, my clients just walked from their transaction with a $343,467.89 profit. They bought 4 years ago. That is after deductions they calculated as ‘lost’ for repairs, payments, etc.” Hmmm. [Editor’s note-The transaction was … Continue reading My client walked…
More doom and gloom, but is it the best way to think?
We can’t figure it out. Is the Chronicle reporting locally, or nationally when they’re trying to scare us into thinking all is lost in real estate? Here’s the Headline: “Study expects 1.1 million foreclosures, Those with adjustable mortgages are most likely losers, even with conventional loans.” Read the article here. But hidden way in the … Continue reading More doom and gloom, but is it the best way to think?
