san francisco: Asking Prices in San Francisco- Over, Under, Round About? - 02/09/13 09:09 AM
Is Everything Selling Over the Asking Price?  No, of course not: not all listings are selling for over list price. Some homes still go through price reductions and some don't sell at all, but it is true that a large percentage of SF listings is now selling for over asking price and sometimes far over. This is especially the case with houses, where 1 in 4 sold in the past 2 months went 10% or more over the list price. (Note: Homes selling for within a quarter percent of the list price were considered to have sold AT asking price.)

san francisco: San Francisco Heading in the Right Direction - 10/05/11 12:50 PM
Well folks, I've been saying that the market here in SF is heading in the right direction, but you don't have to take my word for it:

“San Francisco is becoming more like London / Paris and a lot less like Denver…It's a city that doesn't add a lot of people, but the people it's adding to the metropolitan area are very well-paid people…The city will grow good paying jobs in health care, education, leisure, hospitality and information technology, which will cause property values and rents in San Francisco to go up.“
--Chief economist -Wells Fargo John Silvia

san francisco: Outside Lands Survival Guide - 08/11/11 10:05 AM
  As many of you know, Outside Lands will be starting up again this Friday. Tons of music, tons of food, tons of people. For a lot folks living out in the "Outside Lands" of San Francisco (that's what the Sunset and Richmond were called back when the City was still a baby), the weekend can be quite a headache. The traffic, the parking, the noise. It's all fine when you're attending the festival, but when you're living your life at home, it can be a bit much.
The Ocean Beach Bulletin created an Outside Lands Survival Guide that might help … (0 comments)
