Hi sfnewsletter: First of all, your latest post “Good Bones” is insane! It is insane for what and where it is and by any manner with which we once looked at these things in the past. The Maximum overbid is also insane in this newsletter below (2155 9th Avenue that our friends bid on). As … Continue reading Letters to the Editor: My take on our market/society

Big Price, Big Wine Cellar, Big Time Stalefish ™
We know there is a ton of interest for this property, hell…look at it. It’s beautiful. Ahhh, but it’s a Stalefish indeed. From what we can gather, 21 Buena Vista has been on the market for about 300 +/- days. First put on the market back in January of 2005 at $5,250,000, then re-listed with a different company … Continue reading Big Price, Big Wine Cellar, Big Time Stalefish ™
“Good Bones”
Another way to ensure hordes of buyers to your property, use the words, “Good Bones”. This 2 bed, 1 bath, probate at 833 26th Ave is a total fixer that listed at $679,000, minimum bid is now $896,150, after receiving 23 offers. As we said, fixers fly. This one could easily get into the mid … Continue reading “Good Bones”
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

Picture your favorite touchdown dance right here
“But Lennar’s enterprising relationship with San Francisco City Hall — in which it has come to control much of the city’s remaining undeveloped land — gives the company unparalleled sway over how San Francisco will evolve, arguably rivaling the clout of the city’s elected leadership and the voters themselves.” But… “‘They [Lennar] have agreed … Continue reading Picture your favorite touchdown dance right here
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

Why’s this keep happening to me?!
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?!
The Power of Purple
We present: 200 Corbett, a 3 bed, 2 bath, single family home built in 1908 just hitting the market. We had the pleasure of checking it out, and we must say, it is pretty damn sweet, and yet another unique property that makes you love the real estate here.

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
