That was a tough secret to keep, let me tell you. > 3730 Washington is coming … Continue reading Large and in Charge (3730 Washington)

The neighbors are “aghast”! (3809 Clay)
“This property [3809 Clay, a 3 bed, 3 bath in Presidio Heights] sold about three years ago (neighborhood rumor) to an agent, who modernized it then flipped [it] for around 1.4… note what it is listed for now. What do you think? We are aghast.” Well…I don’t like rumors, so I did a little digging, … Continue reading The neighbors are “aghast”! (3809 Clay)

Tiffany…you’re sooooo…in contract!? (95 Tiffany)
From kenny “Wow. This one surprised me. 7 days on the market? On Tiffany? If this isn’t an indicator that many micro-markets are thriving — not just the especially well heeled neighborhoods — I don’t know what is. In the middle of this scare, Tiffany street commands this type of activity?” Maybe it’s the green … Continue reading Tiffany…you’re sooooo…in contract!? (95 Tiffany)
comment du jour: 520 Clipper and being “green”
We get such a kick out of some of the comments that go un-noticed, we thought we’d grab a few from time to time. Today’s “quote du jour” comes from Joe Schmoe on “Go Green” regarding the Lorax Development Clipper House. Important to note before you see the quote, this home had features like “the … Continue reading comment du jour: 520 Clipper and being “green”
Find your way to the Mid-Century…modern (429 Burnett)
Sometimes you just have to show some pictures, and dream. Five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 3 parking spaces, 3600 square feet, listed for $2,790,000 about a month ago, into contract about 10 days ago, and “very nice” (say that like Borat). It is indeed an “Entertainer’s Dream”, so don’t forget we make a great fresh lime … Continue reading Find your way to the Mid-Century…modern (429 Burnett)

No … Continue reading Bernal Heights strikes again (145 Coso…$309,000 over)
FYI, 289 Marina ($905,000 over asking)
A reader kindly calls out, and we verify: I heard the 289 Marina Blvd. house just sold. Asking $2.795 mil… north of $3 mil…. can anybody verify? I went inside… 1950’s…. needed A LOT of remodelling. [Editor’s note: Correct. Sold for $3.7M. Seven offers.] In the nick of time? Time will tell.
“Seems outrageous to me” (2566 23rd Ave.)
I’m going to keep quiet on this and do as this reader suggests…”let the readers decide”. This listing [2566 23rd Ave.] in SF’s Parkside caught my eye. Bought in March for $1.04M (expensive for Parkside), this home was flipped and is now back on the market for $1.6M! Seems outrageous to me, but let the … Continue reading “Seems outrageous to me” (2566 23rd Ave.)
