Golden Gate Park was once sand dunes.

More than 1,000 acres of the city's Outside Lands, planted and watered into the park San Francisco knows today. The 2 Dutch windmills at its western edge were built to pump water into it.

This 77-second video from Built Mysteries tells the story well:

Sold off market, $575,000 under asking and $6,820,000 below where it started.

119 Telegraph Hill Blvd, Telegraph Hill. Sold October 2026 at $9,175,000. Represented the buyer.

The arc on this one: originally listed in 2022 at $15,995,000. By August of this year the ask was $9,750,000. It closed off market at $9,175,000.

Off market, and strategic negotiation did the rest.

Off market does not mean unavailable. It means the property is not being advertised, so the only buyers who ever see it are the ones whose agent knows it exists.

3 bedrooms, approximately 4,023 square feet.

Open tomorrow in Dogpatch. Sunday, October 18, 2 to 4 PM.

I walked 1011 23rd St #6 for this one, so you can see how the plan actually moves before you come.

Most lofts hand you 1 open room and ask you to live with it. This one separates. Three levels, a wall of glass, and a lower-level primary suite with its own street entrance, walk-in closets and a 6-foot soaking tub, which means it works as a single residence or as two: live-work, a guest floor, an office with its own door.

In a loft market where almost everything is one room, a plan that divides is the scarce part, and it is what the pricing rests on.

2 bed, 2.5 bath, 1,565 square feet, 1 deeded parking space. Elevator, fitness room, panoramic roof deck. HOA dues cover high-speed internet and earthquake insurance. Offered at $1,495,000.

Come walk it Sunday, or call 415.935.1014 and I will open it for you privately before then.

Only 13 days on the market.

850 Powell Street #602 is under contract in Nob Hill.

Nob Hill at this level is not a volume market. A 3 bedroom with coffered ceilings, bay and city views, a fireplace and a garage space is a narrow set of buyers, and the ones who want it tend to know quickly.

3 bed, 2.5 bath, approximately 1,808 square feet per public records, 1 garage space. 39-unit building on Powell.

If you are weighing a move in the city and want a straight read on what your place would do, call 415.935.1014.

Inheriting a San Francisco home, or moving after 55? Prop 19 decides what you pay.

For heirs: the parent's low tax base survives only if a child moves in within a year, and only $1,044,586 of value above that base is protected. On a $4,000,000 home with a $400,000 base, the annual bill moves from roughly $4,700 to roughly $35,000.

For owners over 55: you can carry your tax base to the next home anywhere in California. Buy before you sell and the assessor adds more to your base than if you buy within two years after.
