Hot off our topic on resetting DOM to make a listing appear new on market, we find one of theFrontSteps’ sexiest Realtor nominees slashing the price of 723 Bay from $1,775,000 to $1,595,000 (enough to make it exactly 1 day on market, and narrowly missing sfnewsletter’s Stalefish Tank). Let’s see how it goes this time … Continue reading A sexy price reduction from a sexy Realtor

Look past the furniture and focus on the sale (1700 Jones #4)
Being real estate professionals, it is our duty to look past the clutter and furniture and find the value in each property. We had a little trouble getting past the ottoman, sofa, chairs, and dining room wall coverings of 1700 Jones #4, but apparently the buyers saw something we didn’t. This is a 2 bed, … Continue reading Look past the furniture and focus on the sale (1700 Jones #4)
Ask Us: “Massive construction at 766 Harrison”
Where readers ask and we try to answer: I work on Harrison between 3rd and 4th. For the past year+, there’s been massive construction at 766 Harrison. What’s the building going to be? And will it have an affect on the homeless/mentally ill/substance abusers who camp outside of the substance abuse/mental clinic next door? As … Continue reading Ask Us: “Massive construction at 766 Harrison”

Off Market and On Broadway (2342 Broadway being shopped around $6M)
Going to see a lot more of these. From our reader that would prefer to remain completely anonymous: There is a dog with views at 2342 Broadway being shopped at just under $6m–it’s legit. Being marketed at $5.99M. Needs lots of work. Overpriced (in my opinion) considering the amount of work it needs, but it’s … Continue reading Off Market and On Broadway (2342 Broadway being shopped around $6M)
Sunset Beach? Isn’t that in Hawaii?
We have nothing against any agents (colleagues) in this city, and especially those at Hill & Co. (we heart Hill), but should there be a comma between Sunset and Beach on this Sunset Beach Victorian Cottage at 1545 47th Ave.? Forgive our ignorance, but isn’t Sunset Beach in Hawaii, and the Sunset in San Francisco? … Continue reading Sunset Beach? Isn’t that in Hawaii?

It’s not the size that counts…(1188 Green #10)
It’s what you do with it that matters: 1188 Green #10 is a staggering 260 square feet (per tax records), and might be listed in MLS tomorrow around $399,000, but you can’t fault the seller for making the best of a tiny space. —– We’re thinking some of those strong Euros might like to take … Continue reading It’s not the size that counts…(1188 Green #10)

We love when our readers (AMinSF) come through with quality finds such as this at 960 Potrereo asking $949,000: so, does this listing deserve the retarded RE agent of the year…err…month award?

3630 Jackson…a done deal? (Asking $18M)
Since we’ve recently been on the subject of high end ultra high end homes changing hands, we thought we’d bring your attention to 3630 Jackson, a home in Presidio Heights that was recently on the market and “withdrawn” at $18,000,000. According to our reader, another reliable source, and Property Shark.com, it did indeed “resale” on … Continue reading 3630 Jackson…a done deal? (Asking $18M)
