Maximum Overbid: First-Time Sale Goes Way Over
This week’s top overbid is the overweeningly handsome 300 Twin Peaks, a four bed, four bath blue number that sold for $3.15 million after two weeks on the market.

Maximum Overbid: The Photos Really Do Matter
It was another downbeat week for oversells, at least compared to the surreal highs we’ve been used to for the past 12 months and more.

Maximum Overbid: Summer Slowdown Speeds Right Back Up
Looks like last week’s slow week for overbids was just that: A slow week.

SF Condos Are Taking Longer To Sell. Does It Matter?
We keep hearing that SF condos are in decline. It’s a plausible idea; as we’ve noted already, condos are virtually all the city has built these last ten years, and they’ve proven fairly sensitive to market ups and downs in the past. That said, anecdotes and speculation don’t punch the clock, so let’s see what … Continue reading SF Condos Are Taking Longer To Sell. Does It Matter?
Maximum Overbid: Laying Out a Classic $2 Million ’80s Home
Sometimes it’s the minor things you really love: In this case, certain floorplans.

Maximum Luxury: A Recession Loss Doubles Down
Houses do not have memories, and they do not have opinions about how much they sell for. But if they did, this would be a proud day for 114 Crescent Avenue in Bernal Heights, because this week the three bed, two bath house with the minty green facade can finally put its last unhappy sale … Continue reading Maximum Luxury: A Recession Loss Doubles Down
Should We Pray For a Housing Crash?
In May, a Michigan Facebook user declared, “The new Millennial dream is a housing market crash.” More than 2,600 people Liked or Loved that sentiment; when a larger page recycled the post, it got approval from over 327,000 users. Variations of this meme have floated around social media for years. Although usually presented as a … Continue reading Should We Pray For a Housing Crash?
Maximum Overbid: When Less Really Is More
Our top two overbids this week are on paper very similar affairs, being western neighborhood houses that were just about the same size, listed just a little bit more than a week apart for almost the same sum, and sold within a few days of each other for close to the same money as. The … Continue reading Maximum Overbid: When Less Really Is More

Everyone Is About To Lose Their Minds About SF’s Vacancy Rate
Everybody hates the vacancy rate in San Francisco, even though relatively few understand what that figure means. The vacancy rate of course is the measure of the number of housing units currently without tenants. While that seems like a straightforward concept, in practice its ramifications are really quite diverse. A huge amount of the sturm … Continue reading Everyone Is About To Lose Their Minds About SF’s Vacancy Rate
Maximum Overbid: In Which We Are Surprised We Can Still Be Surprised
It’s long since time we learned not to speak too soon when it comes to SF’s housing heights, but here we are once again.

SF’s Population Is Dropping Again, But Almost Nothing About That Matters
Yes, it’s true what you’ve heard: San Francisco’s population declined yet again in 2021, according to new estimates released by the California Department of Finance. But as we’ll get to in a minute, almost none of the things people assume about that fact are relevant, and indeed, in some ways there’s nothing to see here, … Continue reading SF’s Population Is Dropping Again, But Almost Nothing About That Matters
Maximum Overbid: The Weirdest Sale of the Year?

No, SF Home Prices Did Not Really Skyrocket 20 Percent
The headlines at some other outlets last week (ostensibly based on some Zillow numbers) had it that home prices in SF are up 20 percent just since January. We’ll admit, that does sound dramatic; problem is, it’s just not true, although the actual statistic is kind of within that ballpark. We’ll just look at the … Continue reading No, SF Home Prices Did Not Really Skyrocket 20 Percent
