How Long Is “Long” in Today’s Market?

Friday, February 27th, 2009 @ 2:09 pm | Buyers, Market Trends, Real Estate, San Francisco, Sellers

“How long has this place been on the market?”…is by far the most asked question at an Open House.

Pacific Heights (East) In San Francisco CA - One Bedroom Condo with Parking & Storage for $588,000

When, in fact, the real question is?related to price and condition questions:

1.?? “How much time do I have to get my offer together?”

2.?? “Why is this property still available?”

3.?? “What is?wrong with this property?”

In today’s market, the how long is “long” is now more a statement of?today’s economy and less about “price”, in “move-in” or “brand-new” condition, and/or it’s “a fixer”.

“Long” has to do?more with most people won’t take the risk in getting?what they want.?

With the risks of today’s?economy, come the opportunities of?cheap interest rates,?affordable prices, more pristine properties,? Federal and California State 1st time Buyer incentives, and less competition from other Buyers.

The real question is “How ‘long’ will it take for?Buyers to?realize that the opportunities?of?owning a home?in San Francisco are here and they are able to get what they want today ?”

 

 

 

To Be Smart vs. Just Smart

If ?”to be smart” means?staying put,?playing it safe, and waiting to see and do?what “everyone” else is doing…than smart?they are.

Walking away from Opportunity of Owning a Piece of San Francisco, CA

And if? “to be smart” is to be “everyone” that won’t do what it takes to get what they want until “everyone else” is?getting it….than again smart they are.

Before waiting to see the market bottom out, prices will be way up in San Francisco, CA

The?”smart” time to buy?would be?when there are historically low interest rates?coupled with a Buyers’ market in San Francisco…and “everyone”? thought?that will never happen in their life time.

Turn the corner???follow the signs, invest in yourself in a piece of San Francisco, CA

The opportunity to?own apart of?San Francisco is right here and now for those that are “just smart”!?

Follow the signs

Where is Pacific Heights (East)?

Sunday, February 1st, 2009 @ 12:42 pm | Buyers, City Living, Neighborhoods, San Francisco

That?is a good question…even for locals. This is an area that has been described in tourist books as?Nob Hill, yet anyone in the know…knows this area is not “Nob Hill”.

Newly named neighborhood in San Francisco - ??œPacific Heights (East)

For those that know the answer to “Where? is “Pacific Heights (East)”, ?it is also the answer to “Where is the essence of San Francisco’s ‘city living’, ‘a walkable neighborhood’ and ‘places to hang out in’?”…

The newly named “Pacific Heights (East)” neighborhood runs?West to East from?Van Ness to Larkin and?North to South from Broadway to California between Polk Street’s Neighborhood Commerical Area.

Come by and see for yourself…you will want to live here!
