Weekly Fluj: “Everybody’s Redheaded Stepchild”…the Sunset
As you know by now, we caught the Fluj, and those of you that are familiar with his opinionated writing about San Francisco real estate know that he is nothing short of extraordinarily gifted at firing people up, not to mention a wizard with MLS and various other stats to support his arguments about San … Continue reading Weekly Fluj: “Everybody’s Redheaded Stepchild”…the Sunset
Comment du Jour: “I’m a Renter who made the conscience decision to NOT buy…”
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?
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?

Millennium Tower and One Rincon Hill ain’t got nothing on this!

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)

Regardless, I’ll be in Mexico sippin’ Cerveza and hopefully getting tubed out of my head until May 7th. I have already written a few posts that will appear in the next few days, … Continue reading Gone Surfin’
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

The Wall Street Journal reports on Overbids?
Aldo Congi…Capo di Capi telling it like it is. Andrew, you kind of fumbled a bit, but we’ll let it slide. And who was that that walked out of the bathroom in the middle of your interview!? Gasp…. No way! It’s not happening. Really it’s not. The market has tanked. This report was from 2005. … Continue reading The Wall Street Journal reports on Overbids?
