’09 Neighborhood Rankings by Number of Sales

June 8, 2009

It’s about that time again.  With sales activity picking up sharply in the last couple of months, we’ve decided to update our rankings for San Francisco’s 85 neighborhoods based upon the number of sales that have occurred in each one.

Sales numbers include single family homes, condos, TICs, lofts, stock cooperatives, 2-4 unit buildings, 5+ unit buildings, and land.  Noe Valley still leads the pack and Bernal has made a big upward move to the #2 spot since we last ran this report.  Potrero Hill, Pacific Heights, and SOMA round out the Top 5.

And yeah, we know this analysis doesn’t control for the size of the neighborhoods, but we find it interesting nonetheless.

Which neighborhoods have all the ACTION?

Prime Potential in Marina Goes To Pending

June 8, 2009

We first wrote about 230 Cervantes a couple weeks ago on our Tuesday Tour Show-Stoppers post.  The house struck us as a prime opportunity to own a spectacular Marina home with one of the largest lots on the block.  The 4 bedroom, 3 bath home needs some work, but with its beautiful period details, spacious interior, and stellar location, our minds teemed with possibilities.

Listed for $1,849,000, the home wasted no time getting into contract.  Matter of fact, it skipped the contingency period and went straight to “Pending”.  We’ll keep an eye out for the final sales price, and as we wrote a couple weeks ago, “looks like 230 Cervantes could be another 765 Sanchez in the making.
