Dear Potential Buyers…Here Is Something We’d Like You to Know About Our Neighborhood!

PebblesCafe

My latest listing in Fairmount Heights, a district within Glen Park that is up a hill yet very close to the Noe Valley border, has created a bit of a stir for the letter my clients wrote to potential buyers. While buyers often write letters to sellers and include them in their offers, it is unusual for sellers to write a letter to prospective buyers.  Potential buyers looking at the condo like the fact that my sellers took the time

Exquisite Glen Park Condo About to Hit the Market!

Randal L R Carol 2

Today on Broker Tour I saw a number of properties on the south side of the city in Glen Park. I’m bringing my new listing on the market at 125 Randall Street in Glen Park this Saturday and Sunday from 2-4. I like to see the competition. What I learned is that there isn’t anything on the market right now quite like my unit in this neighborhood. It’s an Edwardian two bedroom condo in a two-unit building, loaded with charm

Why There is A Housing Shortage in SF!

San Francisco Housing

One thing that we know is that inventory is very low in San Francisco right now. There are a number of reasons for this. A recent NYT article discussed the fact that one reason inventory is low is because people are moving less, that it seems to be the new normal.  I see signs of this regularly in San Francisco: For various reasons, my clients are not moving or if they are, they aren’t selling!

Glen Park Steps It Up!

Whitney Street in Glen Park

I have a soft spot in my heart for the neighborhood of Glen Park. According to Christopher P. Verplanck in his article entitled, “Glen Park – The Architecture and Social History,” “Glen Park remained wild throughout most of the nineteenth century. Glen Canyon, one of the most prominent geological features in the southern part of the city, was explored by the Spanish and Mexicans and prospected for gold by the Forty–Niners.” My husband and I lived there for a brief

It feels like a cooler wind is hitting our market. I saw twelve properties of varying price points between $699,000 and $4,700,000 on Broker’s Tour today. They were in the north and south ends of the city, including Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Noe Valley, the Inner Mission and Glen Park. In a hot market, some agents list properties with an “offer date,” a date when offers will be reviewed, to create a sense of urgency and

What Can You Buy in SF Between $1M and $1.2M?

Duncancondo

My client is looking for a two bedroom condo for up to $1.2M. Unfortunately, that could be a bit of a challenge in San Francisco, depending on which neighborhood you are looking in. Anyone reading this who lives outside of California is probably a little shocked because that amount of money could buy a very nice home with land in most parts of the country. But not here. On Broker’s Tour this week, I looked at 4 properties in that
