I checked out 2741 Harrison on tour last week and really liked it for those buyers looking for a spacious condo in a fairly central part of the Mission. And the best part: You’re about half a block down from adventurous ice cream shop Humphry Slocombe, famous for its bizarre flavors like government cheese, boccalone prosciutto and pink grapefruit tarragon (among many others).

If you’e looking for a nicely done 3BR home in a hopelessly hip location, 30 Bird Street may be for you. Located on a little stretch of street off Dearborn, 30 Bird sits on a corner lot and has a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, excellent kitchen and south-facing garden. Continue Reading
The Wall Street Journal ran a great article yesterday on the Mission’s popularity among San Francisco tech workers.
Facebook employees apparently congregate in Mission Dolores Park and in all the nearby bars, and shuttle 75 workers from the Mission to Palo Alto headquarters daily. And startups like Small Batch, Posterous and CrowdFlower have set up shop in the neighborhood. Reporters Cari Tuna and Stu Woo also mention the rising prices in the Mission, saying that while median home values in the district and citywide fell about 20% in the latest recession, values in the area have actually risen 4% since April 2009. No small feat.
Are we approaching another tech boom? This is starting to feel like deja vu.
My clients and I have the distinction of being the first to close on a condo at 555 Bartlett, the excellent new development project in the Mission. The photo above is the courtyard, which will let all the residents enjoy the great weather in the neighborhood.
There are approximately 40 units in contract (with ten going into contract last week, largely due to the tax credit incentive)—so there are 24 condos left. Units come with parking and list prices currently range from the $400,000s to the low $700,000s.
The last time I tried to get in to see 48 Linda on broker tour in July 2008, the home had already been sold (for $2,205,000) before there was time to cancel the tour. There was nothing to do except walk back up the narrow street to my car and move to the next property. Continue Reading
The nine LEED-certified condos known as Nove (pronounced “Nov-ay”) are taking shape at 1060 Guerrero and 145 Ames on the Noe Valley/Mission border. I toured the property yesterday (no photos allowed yet) and the luxury units are pretty impressive. Continue Reading
Last sold as a fixer in 2003 for $529,000, the pocket listing over at 1177 Alabama is resurfacing again as a renovated 3BR/2BA home. It was briefly on the market in roughly its current form in 2007 for $869,000 (tenants included). Continue Reading
I attended a friends and neighbors party at the Mission’s new 555 Bartlett last night. The building isn’t quite complete, but it’s pretty obvious that it will cater to what San Francisco buyers need—reasonably priced units with parking in a central, increasingly hip location.
The 58-unit development is located at the corner of Mission and Cesar Chavez and features a mix of predominantly one- and two-bedroom condos. Continue Reading
One of the latest condo developments to get FHA loan approval is Union, the 76-unit complex at Bryant between 19th & 20th in the Mission. The project has been on the market since last year, and is more than 50% sold, according to the sales team, and it’s now possible to buy a condo in Union with as little as 3.5% down. Continue Reading
Once the former site of the Palm Broker nursery, the new development called Nove is taking shape on the 1100 block of Guerrero on the Noe/Mission border are getting closer to coming on the market. Continue Reading
Here’s another trio of properties that have high Walk Scores. Today, we check out Noe Valley, Lower Pacific Heights, and the Mission. Continue Reading
There was a time when one- to two-bedroom condos and lofts were out of reach for those who could afford up to $600,000. I know that’s a lot of money in most parts of the world, but in San Francisco, it’s first-time home buyer territory, and it’s not been an easy price range. Continue Reading
Yes, I’m coining a new term for a trend that seems to be hitting its stride this year—developers constructing high-end, luxury units in areas that lie just beyond the heart of where everyone wants to be. Continue Reading
For those yearning for an Arts and Crafts-style compound in the heart of the Mission, 428 Capp will certainly do the trick.
This two-story home with a rear carriage house sits on a 6,125 square foot lot right at Capp and 19th Street. It was last sold for $1,085,000 in October 2006, but is now listed at $1,295,000. Continue Reading
There was a time when it was a challenge to find spacious, three-bedroom condos for $800,000. I saw three such properties on my broker tour yesterday: Continue Reading
