Buyers Don’t Always Need to Overbid

Much has been made of some buyers’ irrational exuberance when it comes to overbidding dramatically for San Francisco properties, as The Chronicle’s Kathleen Pender reported last week. This kind of thing makes a great headline and fuels party conversation.

But overbidding doesn’t always happen, even in the hard-to-crack single-family home market. But no reporters are swarming around looking for those stories. As a real estate agent who prefers a more balanced market and a blogger who strives to write about the larger picture, I thought I’d round up the house sales that clocked in at or under the asking prices in June.

List price: $2,895,000 / Sale Price: $2,895,000
