Tony Pacific Heights sits at the north end of the city, bounded by Presidio Avenue to the west, Van Ness Avenue to the east, Green Street to the north and California Street to the south.

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 …
According to a recent article in the NYT, virtual reality technology could transform the real estate industry and possibly make open houses a thing of the past: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/14/realestate/virtual-reality-to-sell-homes.html?_r=0 Wait – not so fast! While this virtual reality “walk-through” of a property may be a step up from an online video tour, it still doesn’t allow you to get the “feel” of the property – walking around the living room to get a sense of its expansiveness from wall to wall …
San Francisco continues to be at the top of the list as the hottest real estate market according to Realtor.com: http://www.realtor.com/news/trends/the-hottest-u-s-markets-in-january-2016/ What is of particular interest is that according to this real estate website, “Our traffic, searches and listing views exhibited the January ‘pop’ we saw last year, which made for a strong spring.” I recall last January (like this year), agents wondered if the market would continue to remain hot. It appears despite what is happening with the world …
Just when I thought the market was slowing down and sugar plums were dancing in my head, my buyers decided to write offers. The saying goes that making offers as the holiday approaches is a good time since if a property is on the market at this time of year, the seller must be desperate and he’ll take what he can get. But, whoever said that didn’t count on the resilient SF market that is like an Energizer Bunny. In …
I am honored to have been selected once again as a Five Star Home Professional, representing an elite group of less than 2% of real estate agents in San Francisco! The award appears in the November issue of San Francisco Magazine. According to the group that sponsors the award, the research process incorporates a statistically valid sample in order to identify the professionals in the local market who score highest in overall satisfaction. This is a review by an independent …
Some sellers prefer for a variety of reasons to sell their property outside of the public Multiple Listing Service, which lists properties for sale. I keep my eyes and ears open for “off market” opportunities for my buyers through my network, opportunities that are not made available to the general public. I just represented buyers who bought “off market” a panoramic view two bedroom, two bath co-op in the Russian Hill luxury building known as the Royal Towers. The photo …
In the last two weeks, a substantial number of properties have come on the market. The Broker’s Tour outlines the properties agents can view on a given Tuesday in San Francisco. It literally doubled in its number of pages from about 14, which it has hovered around this past year, to 28 pages the second week of September! My buyers who were frustrated by not finding any properties they liked suddenly jumped off the sidelines and started writing offers. One …
In early August, I wrote about what a great investment SF real estate is, which is no secret. I gave as examples three properties clients of mine were interested in and the profit I thought the sellers might receive based on my evaluation of what they might sell for. Now, all of their sales have just closed and I can give you the actual numbers which are even more astounding than my initial forecast. A Duboce Triangle 3 bedroom condo …
Here are a few things to pay attention to when looking at buying a place with parking: size of the space, tandem parking, and which spot comes with the unit. Have you ever seen what some people own as parking spaces in San Francisco – narrow garage spaces that barely fit a smart car? When buying a property, it is important, if a parking space is included, that you check out exactly what you are getting and that you test …
