Here’s what’s happening so far in the Spring 2019 selling season, and where the best opportunities are for buyers right now.

Congrats to my client KK on the sale of his charming garden unit on highly desirable Lake Street in an elegant 3-unit building.

With San Francisco’s rainy winters and foggy summers, sometimes you need to go inside to find a ray of sunshine. Tiki bars got their start right here in the Bay Area with Trader Vic’s (now in Emeryville), but these San Francisco bars carry on the tradition.

Congrats to my client CP for landing his first home, a charming 2BR/2BA unit at 99 Rausch Street, in the heart of the bustling SOMA district.

Put these spring events on your calendar. (I’m most excited about the new Tales of the City!)

Heading into February, there are many indications that San Francisco’s real estate market is poised for positive movement, but there are other factors at play as well. Read on to find out the state of the real estate market in San Francisco now.

February is one of my favorite months in San Francisco, not just because the hills are greening up, but because of the colorful and exciting events happening for Lunar New Year in the city.

There were almost too many local, national and international political, economic, social and ecological factors impacting the 2018 market to count. Looking at 2019, there are many wild cards whose impacts are difficult to predict. Check out my recap of 2018 and my prediction for 2019!

SOLD! Congrats to my client DD for landing this amazing home in Bernal Heights at an amazing price. Easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Cortland Ave and a nice landscaped garden round out this lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bath home.

Prime Inner Lake Street location. Elegant 3-unit building. Charming and delightful 1BD, 1BA garden apartment TIC. Fantastic location -- Mountain Lake Park is across the street!

After 7 years of strong market recovery (or "up cycle"), there are preliminary signs of notable shifts in the market - but the magnitude of the changes vary considerably by property type and zip code. Though everyone wants to jump to definitive conclusions, it would be premature to confidently predict the course of a sustained, longer-term transition, if that is what is occurring. There are a lot of spinning plates in local, national and international economies and politics right now.

Happy Holidays! There are just so many fun things to partake of this season. Check out my holiday events calendar so you don't miss out on the fun.

November Market Report - Autumn markets in counties around the Bay Area have seen significant shifts, with wide variance in the magnitude of these changes between counties. So far, San Francisco itself has seen less dramatic changes than  other local markets such as Santa Clara and Sonoma Counties.

Congrats to M&L on getting their slice of San Francisco. This cosmetic fixer was just waiting for them to come along and breathe new life in to it. Just wait till you see the views!

Time for some home maintenance before the winter rains set in.

Inventory and demand ebb and flow dramatically in the SF market. The spring selling season is the most active overall, a period in the Bay Area that can stretch from late February to mid-June. The market then slows down for the mid-summer holidays. Autumn is the second major selling season, but is much shorter, running from after Labor Day to early-mid November.
