SOLD! Modern Bernal Heights Condo
3 BR | 2 BA | BERNAL HEIGHTS | $1,230,000
Our client had been on the hunt for months. He could have bought back in the summer when rates were lower, but decided to hold out for the right place, especially since inventory was low for places that checked his boxes. While exploring numerous open houses in the areas he was most focused on — Noe Valley, Mission, Bernal Heights, and Potrero Heights — he really refined his priorities and honed his wish list. Ultimately he knew he wanted an updated, turnkey place with high-quality furnishes, good light, flexible living spaces, and outdoor space. When he found this Bernal condo that met all the criteria, rates were not optimal, but he decided to “marry the house, date the rate,” having faith that he will be able to refi down in time. (And rates are already falling!) The higher rates meant a softer market, which gave him the opportunity to get more than he hoped for at a lower price than he expected to pay. Over time, when rates come down, he’ll be all the more ahead of the game.
