This time we take from Eddy!, who we have never met in person, but who continues to impress. His comment was in yesterday’s post, “Isolated Panic amongst some San Francisco Realtors or something larger“: I’m a renter who made the conscience decision to NOT buy — I’m well financed and consider myself reasonably knowledgeable on … Continue reading Comment du Jour: “I’m a Renter who made the conscience decision to NOT buy…”

Isolated Panic amongst some San Francisco Realtors, or something larger?
Recently, we’ve been contacted by more than a dozen Realtors asking if we could “plug” their listings. Typically, this is not something we do as it defeats the purpose, honesty, and transparency of this blog, but we got to thinking…why not? We could make a little $$ from it, and help get the word out … Continue reading Isolated Panic amongst some San Francisco Realtors, or something larger?
Redfin adds FSBO and Foreclosure Inventory
We’re pulling this directly from theFrontSteps.ORG (our social network): Redfin adds FSBO and Foreclosure Inventory. So what do you think about that!?
We talked fast cars, now we’re talking VB, who’s listening?
Back in November, we advised Luxury High Rise Condo/hotel developers… to take note about a new car club in town and apparently One Rincon Hill did, with the addition of DRIV into their “One Club”. “Your One Rincon Membership grants you 75 points and 900 miles (up to 11 reservation days) which are debited for … Continue reading We talked fast cars, now we’re talking VB, who’s listening?
Ask Us: Did MLS finally kill public access?
Where readers ask and we try to answer. This time, “G” hits us with a fairly easy question, but who knows, maybe it’s our browsers that are messed up. Making it not such an easy question after all: I am no longer able to log on to sfarmls.com, did they take it way from the … Continue reading Ask Us: Did MLS finally kill public access?

Dear Tenant, Love Landlord: Dear Landlord, Love Tenant

Just a reminder that we are out of office and not even so much as looking at this site until 5/8. Hopefully you’re all having as good a time as we are whilst sipping margaritas in Mexico! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
We caught “the Fluj”
Now that cold and flu season is pretty much behind, we thought we’d warn you about “the fluj”. You may have read his comments on various real estate blogs around town, and we’re delighted to say, we caught him. We’re going to attempt a new weekly (maybe not so often) post allowing “the fluj” an … Continue reading We caught “the Fluj”
Life at the St. Regis is pretty damn good *
You know that when I talk “life”, I talk real estate, because real estate is my life, and therefore life (real estate and living) at the St. Regis is pretty damn good. However, there are a few exceptions…the “B” units and one “F” are getting a bit stale! I was fortunate enough to sell Unit … Continue reading Life at the St. Regis is pretty damn good *
A done deal at 200 Brannan (#109)
Oh it’s just so awful when a property sells for under asking. The world of San Francisco real estate has certainly come to an end when we start to see this. We can all pack our things and head for more affordable, greener pastures. That is, of course, unless you love yourself some loft! After … Continue reading A done deal at 200 Brannan (#109)
Views from the 5*th Floor of One Rincon Hill
We took you to this very floor a long, long time ago before it had walls (right after an earthquake mind you), and we took you there again just recently. This time, we’re bringing you a taste of what life will be like on top and from a North East corner unit…at night…and guess what? … Continue reading Views from the 5*th Floor of One Rincon Hill
Shining examples of more stellar “local” real estate reporting
This from a reader: Here is another shining example of disservice to the SF real estate market courtesy of the SF Gate. The SF Gate and KGO (ABC) reported ([yesterday and the day before yesterday], respectively) on the same story, but KGO was decent enough to report the foreclosure numbers IN CONTEXT, i.e. referencing that … Continue reading Shining examples of more stellar “local” real estate reporting
Submedian is back, but “what’s the diff”?
Again, we say, “Lest you think we only report the positive,” we link to Submedian and What’s the diff. And so you know what is so great: So I’m perusing one of my favorite real estate blogs [theFrontSteps] (no, I don’t get paid to plug it, I really do like it) and I stumble across … Continue reading Submedian is back, but “what’s the diff”?
More of the same for San Francisco Luxury Real Estate (2221 Baker: Sold $4.2M)
Forget the asking price ($3,795,000) and forget the selling price ($4,200,000) of this five bedroom, four bath, 4224 square foot mansion in Pacific Heights, instead focus on the DOM (11). –2221 Baker [sfnewsletter listing detail page]
Comment du jour: “It sucks to be an untalented Realtor…”
We love ourselves some hot Realtors, and we also think our “average” colleagues (the rest of us) are great (even though we continually bash the not so great), but this comment by Kenny the other day in Stats & Numbers: Condos… was so blunt and in your face we had to post it. It sucks … Continue reading Comment du jour: “It sucks to be an untalented Realtor…”
