I just brought on the market a super charming condo in Pacific Heights! It has one bedroom plus an extra smaller room perfect for a study or nursery. This serene unit is located on the top floor of a boutique 6 unit building. There’s a chef’s kitchen which includes a Viking range and a spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet with a custom closet system. The large living room has French pane windows that look down onto a fabulous lush …

I recently listed and sold a lovely 2 bedroom view condo in Sausalito. It sold for over the list price of $815,000 to a very happy buyer! My clients, Chris and Carol, had this to say about their experience: We are very pleased to offer this five star review for Carol. Long ago Carol tried to help us find a place in San Francisco. She was never negative, always realistic, and very professional, but ultimately we gave up at …
Once again we have an overly heated market in the Bay Area! I made an offer on a townhome in Pacific Heights for my lovely first-time buyer couple. The list price was $1,695,000, my clients offered $1.9M – and they didn’t get it since there were 8 offers including a winning offer of $2,225,000! Even so, at the same time as accepting the $2,225,000 offer the sellers wanted a back-up, so they made a counter-offer at $1,950,000 to my clients. …
Do you know an owner-occupant investor who wants a great deal? My new listing with John Lukrich of my office is a prime mixed-use Edwardian two-unit building at 6038-6040 Geary Blvd. in the Central Richmond. It is listed at $1,495,000. Above is a home-like residential unit which has 4 bedrooms, classic formal living and dining rooms and one full bath and a water closet. The lower commercial unit is occupied by a florist and has one bath with a back …
In case you are wondering if the real estate market has cooled down, it does not look like it. My recent new listing at 2 Lake Forest Court in Forest Knolls went pending two weeks after it came on the market, receiving 2 offers and going substantially over the asking price. The 3 bedroom view home is located on a leafy cul-de-sac in Forest Knolls. The owner who built the home in 1961 lived there until she passed away at …
For Sale signs are popping up everywhere! It’s the spring market after all. Is real estate back to normal? Hardly! There are no Open Houses or Broker Tours. The days of the “lookey-loo,” that curious, not-serious buyer are over for a while. They can’t drop into Sunday open houses and look around at their neighbor’s property. This is a time for motivated and serious buyers. Real estate agents have been encouraged to do everything virtually. Obviously, this can be challenging. …
I have received a lot of questions about the real estate market and what the impact will be on home prices. “Will buyers be able to get some good deals after this is all over?” they ask. I don’t have a crystal ball but what I do feel is that once the Stay In Place (SIP) orders are lifted, it will be a very busy marketplace. Why? I am seeing activity even now while we have orders in place. There …
As 2019 comes to a close, we look back at what has been a fairly robust economy in the US this year. The question is: what will 2020 bring and how will that affect the housing market? I attended a First Republic Bank holiday luncheon recently where a talk was given about what to expect in 2020. I will provide you with a few of the highlights from their presentation, and my thoughts, here. The Year of Two Halves For …
SOMA Listing I just closed on two properties in two different neighborhoods. The beautiful loft pictured was listed for $1,165,000 and sold for over the list price. Although SOMA properties generally stay on the market longer with many selling under the list price, the building at 380 10th Street is very popular. There have been a number of recent sales in this building in the past year, most on the market for a short time, selling over the list price. One …
I hear the complaints regularly from buyers that there is not enough inventory in San Francisco. And now as we head into July, there will be even less. However, there are still some good opportunities out there. I just brought on a gorgeous spacious corner loft in SOMA which is pictured here. It has a great feel with its warm colors and rustic, natural wood finishes. It has an open floor plan with a 142 square foot private exclusive use …
