Our readers have been asking in various places about some properties we featured as of late. Since so many have asked so nicely here you go: 3280 22nd St @ Valencia, the “green” building that all the blogs were all hot about and many claiming wouldn’t sell. Guess what? Last week, in the middle of … Continue reading Various Updates (Alhambra, Sea Cliff, 22nd, Sacramento, Douglass, 27th, and more)

Market Update
by Alexander Clark via sfnewsletter charts, data, and trends The negative reports about our market continue to bombard us and are definitely taking their toll on many people and transactions. However, like always, it’s not as bad as it is made out to be. Here is a list of all the properties that went into … Continue reading Market Update
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)

The legwork of hiring the right contractor
by Rik Goodell Given the elusive market conditions (by “elusive” I mean that no one, including me, really seems to be able to decide what to call it) many owners are likely to be remaining owners – rather than sellers – for the time being. Owners that need more space or a better space, may … Continue reading The legwork of hiring the right contractor
Converted warehouse, converted price…now you!
This converted live/work loft South of Market was interesting at $1,500,000 in ’05. Of course it was interesting at $1,175,000 and $1,349,000, also in ’05 but we’re thinking $1,350,000 in ’07 is the magic number. 1 Bernice [mls]

We haven’t had the chance to go check out the sales center at 2161 Sutter (between Pierce and Steiner in Lower Pacific Heights) for Caledonia at Post, but we were one of many to get the email announcing the opening of said sales center, and we’re passing it on to you. Along with the opening, … Continue reading Sales Center Opening for Caledonia at Post
The Faces of Real Estate
From a reader who chooses to remain “anon”: Just a question I’ve often wondered. Who’s idea was it to allow, or encourage Realtors to put their pictures all over everything from biz cards, to shopping carts, to buses, etc.? Why Realtors and not all the countless other professions out there? Good question. I don’t have … Continue reading The Faces of Real Estate
If I bought my home in 2000 then today it’d be worth…
Link provided by DL…thanks! According to the Consumer Price Index calculations found on this page, which are supposed to take inflation into consideration, if in 2000, you bought a home for $500,000 then today in 2007, your home should be worth $580,508. If in 2007 you buy a home worth $1,000,000 then in 2000 that … Continue reading If I bought my home in 2000 then today it’d be worth…
Keep pumping the bull shit, and the public will likely keep buying it
…and the downward spiral will continue until everyone forgets about it. We’re not denying the real estate market has/is experiencing a bit of a shake up, but all the “sky is falling” reporting is getting a bit tiring, and in no way an entirely accurate representation of the San Francisco real estate market. Don’t call … Continue reading Keep pumping the bull shit, and the public will likely keep buying it
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

FYI, 289 Marina ($905,000 over asking)
A reader kindly calls out, and we verify: I heard the 289 Marina Blvd. house just sold. Asking $2.795 mil… north of $3 mil…. can anybody verify? I went inside… 1950’s…. needed A LOT of remodelling. [Editor’s note: Correct. Sold for $3.7M. Seven offers.] In the nick of time? Time will tell.
733 Front unit 203 now showing
Not quite sure what their email to me meant by being “one of the first to tour [their] model home” unit #203 (asking $725,000) this Tuesday from 1:30-3:30, since I’d already been in the building sans furniture, but you might like to get in there, so here’s your chance. (I’m assuming the unit is now … Continue reading 733 Front unit 203 now showing
On the Chocolate Block
Music to our ears, “Custom European refrigerator, custom Italian freezer, high end cupcakes, cheesecakes, and other fine baked goods”. We were sold with the custom fridge and freezer, but throwing in cupcakes and other fine baked goods has put us over the top. Now we just need the time to be there everyday.
