Location, Price, & Remodeled…the total Package!
Listed at $499. Call us to arrange a showing!
Spacious contemporary TOP FLOOR condo in a great location! Triangulated between Duboce Park, Lower Haight, and Market Street, this home is really in the center of it all, yet on a quiet street away from the fray. A wonderfully laid out one bedroom with remodeled bathroom, updated kitchen with never been used appliances, hardwood floors throughout, and great closet space. The light filled living/dining room is perfect for entertaining, and the views to downtown and the East Bay hills are remarkable. Deeded parking, additional storage and best of all – the very reasonable HOA dues ($346/month) for this unit have been PRE-PAID by the Seller through July 2013!! Walk Score of 91, but it should be 100 with every amenity within a few blocks.
Including a balacony with a view!

Housing Inventory Still Very Low
In this period of very low inventory, we are seeing the properties that do come on the market get LOADS of attention from buyers….making this a great time to sell, since competing buyers is what drives prices upward.
Here is a re-post from SF Gate’s “On the Block”
Back in October, we wrote about the lack of homes for sale. Despite what one would think about a still very weak housing market where prices continue to trend down, the supply of available homes for sale is following suit. In December, the number of homes for sale in San Francisco hit a 12 month low. Digging into the raw data, our analytical friends over at Redfin found that given the relatively sparse number of homes on the market, it’s becoming more of a – surprise! – seller’s market out there.
In a balanced market, we’d see five to six months of supply, which is the time it would take to sell all the homes on the market given the pace of sales. In San Francisco, December hit a 12-month low with 1.6 months of supply, meaning it’s even more of a seller’s market.
With less and less homes on the market, is it becoming a seller’s market?The chart above, courtesy of Redfin, shows the continuous drop in the number of homes on the market since the summer season wound down in September.
Nationally, supply was also at its lowest at year end compared to the last 4 years. As the Wall Street Journal writes, the lack of supply – while usually it means a good think for the market – could be a bit deceptive in today’s real estate environment.
But appearances can be deceiving, and it remains to be seen whether the drop is the beginning of a real recovery or if inventory is being held down by sellers waiting for prices to pick up and banks moving slowly on foreclosures.
The 1.89 million homes on the market at the end of December represented a 6% decline from November and a 22.3% decline from one year ago, according to data compiled by Realtor.com.
One thing is for certain – if you are thinking of selling, winter has typically seen better results , thanks in part to lower number of homes meaning less competition. And this is even more true this winter.
This foreclosed property (right) in the Mission had 15 offers and sold way over the (artificially) low asking price.
The property below was a ‘regular’ sale (not a short sale or foreclosure) in Noe Valley also had multiple offers…. Call us for details!
