So here are some observations: The drop: 1416 18th ave (condo) in a duplex – Originally asking $699K a month ago, now back on market at … Continue reading A drop, a loss, and a few flips in Inner Sunset
Battle Royale: San Francisco or New York City, if you had to choose
Just back from my trip to New York City, I couldn’t help but constantly do as so many San Franciscans surely do while there…that is compare our city to theirs. To be clear, for the most part, this is an apples to oranges comparison. Their population (8.2 Million) is roughly 11 times our 750,000. In … Continue reading Battle Royale: San Francisco or New York City, if you had to choose

Here’s a hint…it might leave you feeling BLŪ, could help a hangover, can be addictive, and … Continue reading new space challenge, and reason we live here #8
Sunset Idea House a.k.a. 1303 Alabama
by Tiffany Elston: In the spirit of keeping tabs on San Francisco’s green housing inventory, it seems only logical to draw attention to a green 2 unit TIC in the Mission: 1303 Alabama. The main unit is being retained by the owners. The second unit is a 1,200 SqFt home. The project is the result … Continue reading Sunset Idea House a.k.a. 1303 Alabama
Noe Valley wins, Pacific Heights loses … BIG!
Way back when on July 3rd one of our readers, “Eddy”, sent in a post pitting two districts against each other titled “A tale of two districts”. We showcased two properties: 689 Douglass, which absolutely flew off the shelf, and ultimately sold for $2,050,000 from the $1,895,000 asking price (Close of escrow was 8/15/07). The … Continue reading Noe Valley wins, Pacific Heights loses … BIG!

Bernal Heights strikes again (145 Coso…$309,000 over)
We’re not making this up, but it might help answer the question, “is Bernal on Fuego or Hielo?” All pricing issues aside, this is a pretty damn good find. Thanks Garrett: 145 Coso, a 3-bed, 2-bath, 13 days on the market and $309,000 above asking, which brings the sales price to $1,408,000 in Bernal. No … Continue reading Bernal Heights strikes again (145 Coso…$309,000 over)
Battle Royale: Outer Richmond or Outer Sunset/Parkside…if you had to choose
Our last attempt at a healthy discussion as to whether you’d choose Pacific Heights or the Marina kind of took a turn for the worse when comments got a little heated and were taken a bit personally, but that isn’t stopping us from trying again. So…if you had to choose, Outer Richmond or Outer Sunset/Parkside, … Continue reading Battle Royale: Outer Richmond or Outer Sunset/Parkside…if you had to choose
Battle Royale: Pacific Heights vs. the Marina…if you had to choose.
Since there is a nice little discussion going on about the pros and cons of Noe Valley versus Bernal Heights, we thought we’d try a couple of different posts along the same lines. We want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly about the Marina vs. Pacific Heights…if you had to choose, and … Continue reading Battle Royale: Pacific Heights vs. the Marina…if you had to choose.

1110 Fulton, a property we thought would fly, did not. But…it is “pending”. Phew! Saved a little face at least. Rough day.
1326-28 15th Avenue: A Done Deal in the Inner Sunset
We showed it to you first, and before and after, then we bet on it, and now it’s closed…1326-28 15th Avenue is a done deal, and none of our readers guessed the sales price. In fact, we didn’t even come close, either. It might not actually be marked sold in MLS yet, but we know … Continue reading 1326-28 15th Avenue: A Done Deal in the Inner Sunset
1326-28 15th Avenue: an update, and wager
Following up to our previous post about 1326-28 15th Avenue (awesome before shots, so make sure to click that link), we know it received multiple offers, and it is scheduled to close June 4th, 2007. We thought we’d do another little wager. We’re staying out of this one. We leave it up to you. Here … Continue reading 1326-28 15th Avenue: an update, and wager
Your chance at fame…or missed fortune.
We were just forwarded this by a reader and thought some others may want the chance at it. Our favorite quote, which shouldn’t go un-noticed simply for the fact that the mainstream media is saying it, “…because you thought the real estate market had peaked.” We assume this means others are catching on to what … Continue reading Your chance at fame…or missed fortune.
“Little old Bernal Heights makes the Financial Times”
We’ve been telling you for eons how hot Bernal has been and continues to be, and a kind reader forwarded us the following article, from none other than the Financial Times (The City’s Last Secret). Some money quotes: -“Bernal isn’t the next neighbourhood in San Francisco; it’s the last neighbourhood in San Francisco,” [Editor’s note: … Continue reading “Little old Bernal Heights makes the Financial Times”
