sf real estate: San Francisco Home Sales Data - April 2008 - 05/06/08 12:56 AM
Do you realize that it's MAY???  I mean, a third of 2008 is now but a memory.  Winter is over (though I couldn't really tell by today's weather) and Spring isn't far from being over too. 
Other things that typically happen this time of year is that San Francisco Real Estate Sales pick up - and this year is no less typical (in this regard at least) that others.  With that being said - I went ahead and ran the sales from the MLS as I do every month and found some interesting stuff.
Notables from April 2008 sales figures:

sf real estate: San Francisco Real Estate - Is it a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market? - 04/22/08 05:34 PM
So I was just surfing the San Francisco real estate blog-o-sphere after a long hard day of looking at properties that are currently on the market - and I noticed an interesting trend. I noticed that there are properties on the market right now that have had offer dates come and go - and they haven't received offers.
Now - you've heard me say that I think now is a great time to buy San Francisco real estate. If you check out my last few posts about mortgage rates or the rising cost of SF Rents, you'll get my drift. And … (0 comments)

sf real estate: Renting in San Francisco Becomes an (Even More) Expensive Affair - 04/18/08 02:19 AM
According to this article in SF Gate, San Francisco rents shot up 14.4 percent from a year ago! So here's my hypothetical question to the renters that can afford to buy - (and I'd love to hear from some of you readers if you feel like answering): If you can afford to buy and aren't planning on moving outside of SF in the next five years, why are you still renting?

sf real estate: Got SF Real Estate Questions? - 04/17/08 11:49 PM
I forget sometimes that people actually read this blog. In fact, I'm often surprised when I run into people that actually know who I am after reading my thoughts about San Francisco real estate. Usually, the people that recognize me are other agents that read this blog, but sometimes, I run into strangers at open houses or other place that actually recognize my name - and they say that it's from here! It's nice to be reminded that people actually read what I write, and even nicer when someone takes the time to write in and ask a question to get … (6 comments)
