For 2020, economist Ken Rosen at UC Berkeley has said he expects the Bay Area median price to remain basically flat, within a general range of up or down 2% - in other words, similar to what happened last year.

Buying income property in San Francisco can be a good investment alternative to a single residence. Generally, multi-unit buildings come in at a lower price per square foot, and of course also can generate passive income.

Take a virtual tour with me through West County Sonoma and savor some of my favorite sips and nibbles along the way — many are dog-friendly.

Congrats to my clients on purchasing their getaway home in the Bodega Harbours area in Bodega Bay. I know they’ll forge many happy family memories here for years to come, just as the previous owners did.

Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to 2020, while reflecting on a very good 2019. According to these numbers, I am in the top 10% of SF agents, as I had over $17M in volume last year. Here's to another successful year!

This year, I decided to express my gratitude to a handful of clients by introducing them to one of our favorite wineries at an intimate event in a fabulous space.

I love how festive our city is at this time of year. Here are a few notable events that you can participate in during the holiday season. Have fun!

As is expected, we saw a spike in new listings in September, flooding the market. Anecdotally, I think buyers were fatigued by the market as well as world events, and simply didn’t show up. Consequently, properties sat on the market, and we saw a higher than usual rate of price reductions in October.

Full-floor Edwardian condo in the heart of Noe Valley, just steps from the shops and restaurants on 24th Street as well as easy access to the bustling Mission and Bernal neighborhoods.

It'll be a while before we really see how the market behaved this fall, but anecdotally, I can say that there were some significant shifts. Listings seemed to sit on the market longer, and properties went for less stratospheric prices than we've seen previously.

It will be another month before hard data on the autumn selling season begins to become available. In the meantime, below is a review of market trends and statistics through the third quarter.

Congrats to my clients on landing a really lovely home in the up-and-coming Ingleside district. This beautiful, classic home recently completed a permitted addition of a family room, master suite and spa bath.

Airy, spacious contemporary condo in the Marlow, just steps from all the best that Nob Hill has to offer, including lush parks, world-class dining, elegant boutiques, and vibrant nightlife.

Convenience and efficiency! This stylish studio in desirable Symphony Towers has been thoughtfully appointed with built-ins including a Murphy bed and ample storage. 

Congratulations to my client for landing this stunning Mid-Century home in prominent location on Twin Peaks with expansive views!

In this month’s report, we look at neighborhood house & condo prices, short-term & long-term appreciation trends, and population migration in & out of San Francisco.

Once a sleepy post-industrial neighborhood, the stretch along 3rd Street plus a couple blocks of 22nd Street bustle with restaurants, bars, and shops. Learn more about this up-and-coming neighborhood.

Spring may be the season with the greatest amount of real estate activity in San Francisco, but just as predictably, September is the month that tends to bring the greatest number of new listings to market. (See the seasonality section in my market report.) If you’re looking to buy a home in the city, it’s arguably the best time of year, as inventory opens up and relieves some of the competitive pressure.
