The Luxury is in the Details
How was the month of April for condo buyers and sellers in South Beach, South of Market, Dogpatch, Mission Bay, and Yerba Buena? Overall, there were 73 sales reported in the MLS during the month of April, which is up slightly from the 69 condo homes sold during the same month in 2012. One of the sales was for a parking spot, though, so let's call it 72 sales! The most expensive sale was for a residence in the Millennium Tower, a 2 bed, 2.5 bath home in the Grand … [Read more...]

As one might expect, the usual political suspects were on hand, and offered these sound-bite ready clips: Mayor Ed Lee: "Investing in our City’s public safety infrastructure is critical to providing unparalleled services to … [Read more...]
I fell in love with Small Foods as soon as I walked past the cash registers (iPads) and saw that they stocked Dry Soda. They are a neighborhood market located on 2nd St. in SOMA between Brannan and Bryant. According to the very nice cash register guy I spoke with yesterday, they've been around since last summer.

The median sales price of a San Francisco condo in 2012 was just shy of $750,000, coming in at $746,000. And in 2012, we were just 5 condos short of selling 2,500 condominium homes in San Francisco. Of the 2,495 sales that did take place, only three went for a sales price of greater than five million dollars ($5,000,000). What were they and where were they?
