Maximum Overbid of the Week: Ingleside Home Sells for $300,000 Over Asking
We often get caught up talking about the massive sales on the north side of town, but it is a mistake to sleep on the neighborhoods further south. A perfect example just crossed the finish line over in Ingleside. Take a look at 255 Miramar Avenue. This 1935 Mediterranean style home came to market with … Continue reading Maximum Overbid of the Week: Ingleside Home Sells for $300,000 Over Asking

Maximum Overbid of the Week: Bernal Heights Home Sells for $455,000 Over Asking
People often ask us if buyers are still willing to push prices upward, and then we see results like this. The single-family home at 136 Bradford Street in Bernal Heights just closed escrow, and the final tally is definitely worth noting. Sellers listed the four-bedroom home for $1,995,000.

A Great Deal in Pacific Heights: Unit Sells for $420,000 Under Asking
Living inside a public park is something you don’t see every day. In fact, 1925 Gough is the only privately-owned building sitting right inside Lafayette Park, giving it some serious bragging rights. You would think that kind of address writes its own check. Apparently, the market had other ideas… This unit spent 305 days trying … Continue reading A Great Deal in Pacific Heights: Unit Sells for $420,000 Under Asking

Maximum Overbid of the Week: Anza Vista Home Sells for $351,000 Over Asking
The strategy of pricing a property just under the psychological barrier of one million dollars often yields a predictable result in San Francisco. We watched this play out perfectly at 1121 Broderick Street. Located in Anza Vista, a neighborhood that often flies under the radar compared to its louder neighbors, this Edwardian condo hit the … Continue reading Maximum Overbid of the Week: Anza Vista Home Sells for $351,000 Over Asking
A Great Deal in Clarendon Heights: Home Sells for $300,000 Under Asking
High-design architecture usually commands a premium, but sometimes the market offers a bit of breathing room. The sellers of 180 Palo Alto Avenue were looking for $6,300,000. When the deal closed just after Christmas, the final price came in at $6,000,000. That is a $300,000 difference… This isn’t just a house; it is a 1958 … Continue reading A Great Deal in Clarendon Heights: Home Sells for $300,000 Under Asking
