3130 Pacific, priced to sell at $12,495,000.00, and almost sold


We almost can’t keep up with some of the brisk sales we’re seeing. 3130 Pacific is “pending”, after 7 days in MLS. Remember 3100 Pacific (next door), the $15,000,000 home that never made it to MLS, received two offers and is sold. A quick explanation of “pending”. In MLS, and real estate in general, there … Continue reading 3130 Pacific, priced to sell at $12,495,000.00, and almost sold

1326-28 15th Avenue: A Done Deal in the Inner Sunset


We showed it to you first, and before and after, then we bet on it, and now it’s closed…1326-28 15th Avenue is a done deal, and none of our readers guessed the sales price. In fact, we didn’t even come close, either. It might not actually be marked sold in MLS yet, but we know … Continue reading 1326-28 15th Avenue: A Done Deal in the Inner Sunset

Church of Skate?


Having driven by this construction project on the corner of 14th Ave and Clement countless times, I finally stopped, shot, and unfortunately couldn’t roll. And now I’m forced to quit dreaming. According to the construction crew, it is going to be a synagogue, and the vertical sides perfect for a frontside air, or McTwist, will … Continue reading Church of Skate?

A Cool Cube in a Hot City


Nothing more, nothing less than cool looking Cube Condos starting at $168,000 in Dubai that have nothing to do with San Francisco real estate, except maybe inspire. That midrise pool could be a problem though, with our howling wind and persistent foggy weather.

2901 Broadway, a Google drive-by


We had so much fun comparison shopping with 2901 Broadway (the $55,000,000 listing we have here in San Francisco), we thought why not do a drive by and scare the ___ out of the Gettys and Ellison, and Trainas, who live on this block? Not that kind of drive by, but a Google drive by, with … Continue reading 2901 Broadway, a Google drive-by

99 Surrey: A done deal in Glen Park for UNDER ASKING!


The teensy weensy 790 square foot “condo alternative” at 99 Surrey in Glen Park that had all the blogs abuzz, has sold. Asking $599,000 sold for $573,000 or $725/square foot. It did also have “RH-2 lot with renderings of contemporary 2 unit building with parking”, so we’re thinking we’ll be hearing about this in a … Continue reading 99 Surrey: A done deal in Glen Park for UNDER ASKING!

Following up to our previous post about 1326-28 15th Avenue (awesome before shots, so make sure to click that link), we know it received multiple offers, and it is scheduled to close June 4th, 2007.  We thought we’d do another little wager. We’re staying out of this one. We leave it up to you. Here … Continue reading 1326-28 15th Avenue: an update, and wager

1771 North Point: A quick follow up


Previously, we posted about 1771 North Point, and at the time we promised not to disclose the asking price, only had a link to a temporary website, and only had photos that we had taken ourselves. Ahhh, but now we have more. They are, in fact, asking $4,995,000.  The home is 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, … Continue reading 1771 North Point: A quick follow up

Your chance at fame…or missed fortune.


We were just forwarded this by a reader and thought some others may want the chance at it. Our favorite quote, which shouldn’t go un-noticed simply for the fact that the mainstream media is saying it, “…because you thought the real estate market had peaked.” We assume this means others are catching on to what … Continue reading Your chance at fame…or missed fortune.
