What a buzz-kill, but does it apply to San Francisco?
Thanks to our Reader DL for sending this in. We we were not going to post it, because we really don’t feel it has any bearing on the current San Francisco market (things could always change), but it is another point of reference for you.

A done deal in Lower Pacific Heights (2901 Pine)…sold UNDER asking!

Maybe it was … Continue reading A done deal in Lower Pacific Heights (2901 Pine)…sold UNDER asking!

32 Collins: $115,000 over asking
From Janis Stone– “Spring has been hot (market-wise, not weather-wise) and it looks like summer will be even hotter. I can not stress to you enough how the absence of inventory can cause double-digit appreciation, when the few listings we do have sell, and it often creates multiple offer situations. A new listing I had … Continue reading 32 Collins: $115,000 over asking
