SOMA – South Beach Loft Condominium Steps From AT&T Park

Previously listed on MLS at $659,000, times have changed, but this A+ unit at 200 Townsend has not. Currently not listed on MLS due to reasons I’m happy to share if you’re a serious buyer or buyer’s agent, this loft is available for immediate purchase and now asking $499,000! Talk about a hair cut. Two … Continue reading SOMA – South Beach Loft Condominium Steps From AT&T Park

St. Regis Penthouse Was $70,000,000, Now $35,000,000. Yes, That’s Correct – $35,000,000 Less.

The original “asking” price for the 20,000 square foot St. Regis Penthouse (188 Minna), was $70,000,000, and at that price it was only slightly ambitious. Now at 50% less or $35,000,000 and still not officially “listed” on MLS, I expect all but one of the buyers in San Francisco to be able to qualify for … Continue reading St. Regis Penthouse Was $70,000,000, Now $35,000,000.

Sometimes you just need a little real estate photo porn to get you through your day. Below are some images from One Rincon Hill (for those wondering, One Rincon Hill is the gigantic tower…some would say phallic symbol… that kisses the west end of the Bay Bridge off/on ramps), which were recently provided to us … Continue reading Tasty Views, Cool Beers, And Designer Living, 600 Feet Above Ground At One Rincon Hill

Who Is Tom Perkins And WTF Does He Have To Do With Us

Stories Of Despair In San Francisco Real Estate (source: sfnewsletter)

I recently submitted an offer for $425k on a Short Sale in SOMA (175 Bluxome #119). The “lender approved price” was $450k, but the sellers accepted our offer for $425k … Continue reading Stories Of Despair In San Francisco Real Estate (source: sfnewsletter)

Comment Du Jour: SOMA Gets Dissed

From “anon” on our recent post, “Battle Royale: San Francisco’s Infinity Tower Versus Some Peninsula Townhouse”: SOMA would the be last place I’d buy in SF. It lacks any sort of SF feel, there is no personality nor night-life. We don’t live down there, so can’t speak to daily life in the area, but we … Continue reading Comment Du Jour: SOMA Gets Dissed

St. Regis Residences San Francisco: A Sales Update & A Little Horn Tootin’

Because I had a listing not too long ago at the St. Regis, I like to keep up on that building, and lucky for you, I like to share what I find. Although young, considerably younger than my colleagues (most of whom I completely respect and admire) selling in the building, I’m no dummy. Here … Continue reading St. Regis Residences San Francisco: A Sales Update & A Little Horn Tootin’

City And Media Pounce, Developer Responds (Mike Krozier, Think One Rincon Hill)

Hullabaloo, hullabaloo, hullabaloo. That appears to be what everybody loves these days (especially when it seems to highlight more economic hardship for anybody…we’d think it easier to claw out of a recession if we shifted our focus elsewhere), and so it is no surprise the city (we’ll call it more the real estate obsessed readers) … Continue reading City And Media Pounce, Developer Responds (Mike Krozier, Think One Rincon Hill)
