An Update: 8 Kronquist
Originally priced at $2,295,000, 8 Kronquist came on the market with quite a bit of fan fare.

Hardly…it’s in contract, as of the night before Halloween. –8 Kronquist … Continue reading An Update: 8 Kronquist

Asking $1,799,000 1809 Diamond in Noe Valley, a 5 bed, 3.5 bath, just closed for $2,220,000 or $421,000 (23.4%) above asking. Debate the pricing all you want, demand is there.
