32 Collins: $115,000 over asking


From Janis Stone– “Spring has been hot (market-wise, not weather-wise) and it looks like summer will be even hotter. I can not stress to you enough how the absence of inventory can cause double-digit appreciation, when the few listings we do have sell, and it often creates multiple offer situations. A new listing I had … Continue reading 32 Collins: $115,000 over asking

Done deal in Pacific Heights for 2243-“A” Green

Getting to the bottom of the Median


Sometimes you just need to look at a chart: …and follow it up with an article (in case you missed it). …throw in a quote, “It’s likely a lot of potential buyers have been sitting on the fence. There may be an uptick in sales now because mortgage interest rates have been trending up the past … Continue reading Getting to the bottom of the Median

2340 Larkin #2…an update, and $296,000 price reduction.


We’re slowly getting back into the swing of daily posting about real estate and still very much a construction site over here at theFrontSteps, so what better way to kick things off with a post about how utterly and completely wrong we were, and it isn’t the first time. The update for 2340 Larkin #2 … Continue reading 2340 Larkin #2…an update, and $296,000 price reduction.

3130 Pacific, priced to sell at $12,495,000.00, and almost sold


We almost can’t keep up with some of the brisk sales we’re seeing. 3130 Pacific is “pending”, after 7 days in MLS. Remember 3100 Pacific (next door), the $15,000,000 home that never made it to MLS, received two offers and is sold. A quick explanation of “pending”. In MLS, and real estate in general, there … Continue reading 3130 Pacific, priced to sell at $12,495,000.00, and almost sold

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

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

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!

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
