[Update: As of 6/13/2008 at 8pm, it is again available. The buyers in contract pulled out, my buyer has had a change of heart feeling SoMa is a bit “dead”, so we won’t be writing an offer at this time, and now we wait to see what happens.] I can’t believe what I’m writing. Months … Continue reading 188 Minna #33D (St. Regis) in contract (~$3.7M) after one week…are you kidding me!?

We would have taken it for the garage (2820 Pacific: a done deal ~$16M)


In another sign of the times at the high end, 2820 Pacific closes escrow with that damn little asterisk next to the price $16,000,000 (*), which can only tell us the sales price was close.  Not too close to the original $17,500,000 asking, but up there nonetheless. Like we said, we would have taken it … Continue reading We would have taken it for the garage (2820 Pacific: a done deal ~$16M)

We get a few inquiries as to what exactly went inside the so called “time capsule” that will be placed on top of One Rincon Hill. Well, according to One Rincon Hill’s Fall Newsletter, in which theFrontSteps actually has a couple photo credits: [The time capsule] will be installed in an electrical room on the … Continue reading One Rincon Hill: Time Capsule and Construction Update

Noe Valley wins, Pacific Heights loses … BIG!


Way back when on July 3rd one of our readers, “Eddy”, sent in a post pitting two districts against each other titled “A tale of two districts”. We showcased two properties: 689 Douglass, which absolutely flew off the shelf, and ultimately sold for $2,050,000 from the $1,895,000 asking price (Close of escrow was 8/15/07). The … Continue reading Noe Valley wins, Pacific Heights loses … BIG!

“A Tale of Two Districts”: Update

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! :-(

610 Rhode Island: my take


By Alexander Clark Okay, so I had the chance to nose around 610 Rhode Island (asking $2.3MM) yesterday, and I gotta say, it was impressive, but I was not impressed. In our previous post I was practically frothing at the mouth to get in there…and I’m glad I did.  This is not to say I … Continue reading 610 Rhode Island: my take

A done deal in Lower Pacific Heights (2901 Pine)…sold UNDER asking!


We knew it was just a matter of time before 2901 Pine, was snatched up. It apprears the time has come. Listed for $2,350,000, this property was/is truly unique, and stating that it sold under asking ($2,300,000) doesn’t necessarily imply the market is tanking like many people would lead you to believe. Maybe it was … Continue reading A done deal in Lower Pacific Heights (2901 Pine)…sold UNDER asking!
