I’ve done the sfnewsletter, and this here blog for years now, and believe me when I say I love(d) every minute of it. They are both, quite simply, an incredible drain on time. So…I’m spending more time on my Twitter page talking about things…among them San Francisco real estate (of course). If I could figure … Continue reading theFrontSteps Goes Tweet!

Price Chopping “Curbed SF” Style
Sorry dear friends over at Curbed SF, but we’re using your line. We have to, because what better way to announce prices are getting chopped on some of our listings? The first to chop is 2185 Bush #307: We started out at $899,000 (now $869,000), interest was high, but the market has spoken. It’s time … Continue reading Price Chopping “Curbed SF” Style
Comment Du Jour: SOMA Gets Dissed
From “anon” on our recent post, “Battle Royale: San Francisco’s Infinity Tower Versus Some Peninsula Townhouse”: SOMA would the be last place I’d buy in SF. It lacks any sort of SF feel, there is no personality nor night-life. We don’t live down there, so can’t speak to daily life in the area, but we … Continue reading Comment Du Jour: SOMA Gets Dissed
Renaming San Francisco Neighborhoods (Little Hollywood Gets The Nod)
Some of the new monikers have bubbled up from popular culture, others have the whiff of real estate marketing euphemism, and some are a return to names that stuck despite trendsetters’ efforts to change them. Since Realtors have been given the power to rename some of San Francisco’s neighborhoods, we thought we’d share the one … Continue reading Renaming San Francisco Neighborhoods (Little Hollywood Gets The Nod)

Comment Du Jour: Oh Noe, Where Will You Be In 2 Years?
From “Seb” on “Noe Valley Is Not Immune”: Where do people think Noe [Valley real estate] prices will be in two years? Up or down? I sense things are stabilizing. We’ll just say the feeling of free-fall has disappeared. Stable? Not so sure. Going up, definitely not. In two years…crystal ball is a little bit … Continue reading Comment Du Jour: Oh Noe, Where Will You Be In 2 Years?

394 Frederick, Before, After, Here And Gone (In Contract After 7 Days): $2,399,000
True, the market tanked. True, average home prices have come down in San Francisco. True, even A+ areas like Noe Valley and Pacific Heights have felt the pinch.

City And Media Pounce, Developer Responds (Mike Krozier, Think One Rincon Hill)
Hullabaloo, hullabaloo, hullabaloo. That appears to be what everybody loves these days (especially when it seems to highlight more economic hardship for anybody…we’d think it easier to claw out of a recession if we shifted our focus elsewhere), and so it is no surprise the city (we’ll call it more the real estate obsessed readers) … Continue reading City And Media Pounce, Developer Responds (Mike Krozier, Think One Rincon Hill)
