Stories Of Despair In San Francisco Real Estate (source: sfnewsletter)
I published this exact thing on sfnewsletter today, but since it is a newsletter there is no room for discussion. Hopefully, we’ll get some here. 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)

SF BLŪ, San Francisco Condos: Rendering To Reality, Pricing, Pictures, And Info
We had a chance to get down to SF BLŪ, yet another San Francisco new development releasing units for purchase, and we have to admit, it is also a very nice building.

Reduction Redux, in which I pick up the Gauntlet
When I posted Reduction Ad Nauseum, I really just wanted a read on how the educated real estate populace explains and/or reacts to listings that have suffered not one, not two, but three or more price cuts. Still, one commenter Noe Guy said: “Interesting observations but I wouldn’t put too much stock in them. First, you … Continue reading Reduction Redux, in which I pick up the Gauntlet
Que Sera, Sera: One Rincon Hill’s 60th Floor Penthouse Residence ($14M)
We’ve all heard about the latest craze to talk about what buildings aren’t selling what, what price reductions happened where, what incentives are being offered here, and which penthouse condos are selling for what.

Coming Soon! And, Coming Later!
Realtor Kevin Gueco writes a very sunny review for the coming soon Mosiaica 601 condo project (pictured above) in his SFNewDevelopments blog. There’s definitely some room for pleasant surprise in the announced price (pleasant to me, anyway, since I selfishly find all condos I cannot afford to be unpleasant): “Mosaica 601 announced last week that … Continue reading Coming Soon!
