What the heck is a pocket listing? A pocket listing is a home that is not being advertised to the general public through the MLS or a listing that will come on the market in the future but right now is still a secret. Many homes in San Francisco sell while off the open market, so pocket listing culture is a big deal. Every week, we’ll be sharing info about pocket listings that we know about. Information on pocket listings is sparse and secretive, so pardon us if we seem short on details for the purposes of our blog. If you are interested in learning more, you can click HERE to contact us. Without further adieu, here are this week’s pocket listings:

Miraloma Park is smack in the middle of San Francisco (ok, maybe a smidge south). Home to many cute San Francisco houses and nestled in between Mt. Davidson and Glen Canyon Park, this area is especially attractive for families. We’re often surprised about how many people don’t know where this little area is. For your reference, we’ve got some maps below:
Miraloma Park - Stuck in the Middle With You
Miraloma Park Boundaries
We wanted to see what single family home prices have done in Miraloma Park over the past 14 years. We looked at the median sales price for each year starting in 1995, working our way up to 2008. Because we wanted to include 2008, we capped each year at December the 2nd, so we could have an even comparison. What type of trend did we find in Miraloma Park’s single family homes?

We performed a detailed analysis of Noe Valley single family homes for our “In Search of Truth” series. If you are unfamiliar with our methodology, please read this. We looked at all sales within the past six months (6/2/08 thru 12/2/08) and here is the run down:
- A total of 56 single famly homes sold during this period, per the MLS.
- Looking through all the photographs, descriptions, and property histories of each of the 56 sales, only 4 qualified for the analysis. These are our “perfect pairs”.
- Stroller Valley back in the Spotlight
Based on these four representatives, how have Noe Valley single family homes fared recently?

Today we toured the Millennium Tower, hard-hat on head and camera in hand, so we could bring you some shots of the views. Decent photography was a challenge– the windows have not been washed and I couldn’t avoid some of my own reflections. Nevertheless, we’re working with what we’ve got.
The sales center requested (and rightfully so) that we do not share pictures of the interiors as the building is still a construction site. However, the views are fair game and we can surely say they are breathtaking. We can’t wait to see the views at night, but for now, these will suffice. These shots are all from the penthouse level.
