Stalefish: You Won’t Believe Your Eyes
There is a little something in our market, of which many buyers are not aware, and many agents overlook. I have long referred to them as “Stalefish“, but others refer to them as “buying opportunity” or “still available property”, or what we named (on theGoods) as the “30+ Club”. What are these, you ask? They … Continue reading Stalefish: You Won’t Believe Your Eyes
Great Highway Remodel, Not On MLS, And Certainly A San Francisco Surfer’s Dream Home
I have word of a house, on the Great Highway at Noriega (the best sandbar on the beach right now), that is very much for sale, and very much not on MLS radar. Price hovering around $1,050,000 and $1,100,000. That is the view above, and here are the details below. As always, I am here … Continue reading Great Highway Remodel, Not On MLS, And Certainly A San Francisco Surfer’s Dream Home
Client Testimonials From Way Back
Bear with me while I reorganize my testimonials into individual posts. These are a few put together from way back. *Alex was very easy to work with. He was straightforward, gave good advice about how the condominium should look when it was being shown, and managed the negotiations with the buyer perfectly. I always felt … Continue reading Client Testimonials From Way Back
A “Villa” At Ocean Beach? Tisk Tisk. But A Pizza Place On Noriega…Brilliant!
The email to our office read, “Stunning Ocean Beach Villa”, and a link to 2006 47th Ave was included. We were expecting…well….a surprise, you know…a “villa”. Instead, we got your typical Outer Parkside “gem”. We’re gonna go out on a limb and say that when 99% of Outer Parkside home buyers (and their Realtors) are … Continue reading A “Villa” At Ocean Beach? Tisk Tisk. But A Pizza Place On Noriega…Brilliant!
Comparing A Fuji To A Macintosh (We Ain’t Talking Electronics)
Lots of chatter (as usual) on one particular local blog regarding the continued decline of real estate, and the world for that matter. (We get it, we really do. At least they’ve chosen to beat white elephants now along with their dead horses.) What we’d like to show you is something that is still happening, … Continue reading Comparing A Fuji To A Macintosh (We Ain’t Talking Electronics)
A Worse Punishment for Sisyphus: Policing Noise in a Metropolis
Hello out there, theFrontStep Readers! You may (or just as likely, may not) know my name from my blogs for Redfin. I’ve kindly been invited to write also for theFrontSteps, so here I am, on the steps, with my first blog. So here’s the setting: last night, 2:00am, sultry night, people walking up from the … Continue reading A Worse Punishment for Sisyphus: Policing Noise in a Metropolis
San Francisco Oil Spill…doing our part
This post has absolutely nothing to do with real estate, unless of course you’re looking to buy a home down at Ocean Beach (Outer Sunset/Outer Parkside), because of our pristine beaches and ideal beach weather, but we thought we’d get the word out. Things won’t be the same down there for a long time. We … Continue reading San Francisco Oil Spill…doing our part
Comment du Jour: “Highest stakes table in Vegas”
I chose this comment for the “Comment du Jour”, as it is a very good, brief description of the mindset of many buyers currently in the market. Thanks “Ah Boom”, and thanks to all the others that have responded and shared their thoughts on that thread. You put your life savings down [on a home … Continue reading Comment du Jour: “Highest stakes table in Vegas”
Done Deal in Outer Parkside (2342 42nd)
What feels like ages ago on April 11th, I wrote about 2342 42nd Avenue: …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 Mexico, because that would be just … Continue reading Done Deal in Outer Parkside (2342 42nd)
Battle Royale: Outer Richmond or Outer Sunset/Parkside…if you had to choose
Our last attempt at a healthy discussion as to whether you’d choose Pacific Heights or the Marina kind of took a turn for the worse when comments got a little heated and were taken a bit personally, but that isn’t stopping us from trying again. So…if you had to choose, Outer Richmond or Outer Sunset/Parkside, … Continue reading Battle Royale: Outer Richmond or Outer Sunset/Parkside…if you had to choose
A rectangle on end on the Great Highway
Sometimes it doesn’t have to be on the market to catch our eye. We’ve known about this beach house designed in 1950 by Ernest Born for quite some time (we have a surfer in the house), and also known about its pending publicity in Dwell Magazine, and NY Times, but we kept our lips sealed. But now, the cat … Continue reading A rectangle on end on the Great Highway
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
