Real Estate

We are officially in the fall market! To add to the delay in bringing some properties on, we even had an unexpected real estate crisis earlier in August. The crisis we dealt with was not very widely reported, so you may not have heard about it, but the provider of our MLS (multiple listing service) […]

Greetings Glen Park! We are nearing the end of the summer and there’s a lot of talk about what’s going to happen with inventory this coming fall. We have been stuck in a declining inventory pattern for quite some time, and this is primarily what is holding prices from falling further than they have during […]

We are solidly in summer now and was that ever a hot pre-4th of July in the Bay Area! As a matter of fact, 4th of July saw the hottest average world temperature on the books. Lots of people are traveling, but we are seeing a good amount of renewed interest in the real estate […]

Greetings Glen Park! Though the weather continues to be confused (raining on June 6th!?), the days are getting longer and people are gearing up for summer vacations. This past Memorial Day weekend was one of the busiest driving holidays we’ve seen since before the pandemic. But what’s happening in the market? Buyers are being more […]

Greetings Glen Park! As I’m writing this and looking out my window it doesn’t really look much like spring. It’s raining outside and I still haven’t put away my winter jacket. So happy to see that the drought is something we don’t have to worry about at least for this year, but I think we […]

Hello Glen Park and Happy Mid-Wintertime! It sure has been rainy (needed) and cold (brrr). I even heard that next week it may snow! Would be fun to take another picture sitting at a picnic table in the backyard like I did in my childhood home in Noe Valley in 1976. Granted, I’ll look a […]

I just got back from my first real vacation since before the pandemic, and boy was that an adventure! I’ll spare you the details, but let me just say don’t get stuck taking a red-eye flight from an airport and town that closes down completely by 11pm. Any mishap will quickly become an epic disaster. Safe […]

Happy October! Such a great month in San Francisco :). The weather is beautiful, Halloween is always fun (especially in Glen Park!). But what of the real estate market? Well, as I’m sure you’ve heard all over the news, and seen with your own eyes, interest rates are up and there are fears of a […]

As we move into the dog days of summer, things are moving at a slower pace in the world of real estate as well. For those of you who are concerned about a huge crash like we had in 2008—look at this pictograph as a helpful reminder that we do not have the same forces […]

Summer is upon us! Historically, summer tends to be a slower season in San Francisco in general for real estate sales. During the last couple of years of pandemic lockdown, we haven’t seen that pattern as much because people were not traveling, but rather, they were moving into larger or more accommodating living spaces. There […]

Happy May! I can’t believe another summer is almost upon us. Will things keep heating up, or will we see the lull that so many are anticipating due to it being the first summer in a long time where many people are planning on traveling? Personally, I’m not going anywhere this summer as I’ve got […]

Happy April! Spring has sprung all around us and, thanks to our recent unexpected rainstorms, lots of wildflowers are popping up all over. Speaking of beautiful things popping up–those who know me know that I am a big fan of new murals contributing to the beautification of Glen Park. I am thrilled to see that […]

Happy March, everybody! Best wishes as we forge ahead toward Spring, and more lovely weather. In times of relative chaos and hardship around the world, it makes one truly appreciate that we live in relative peace locally. Here’s to Glen Park remaining an oasis of calm and peaceful living. So, what can I say about […]

(Glen Park News note: Be sure to play Sales Price Roulette by Feb. 18! Details below.) Happy February! After the wild ride that was 2021, 2022 has started out a bit more quietly, with only three total home sales in the month of January (See the table below). This new year slowdown is par for […]
