I think you can get that one for around 700k if you negotiate hard enough. Sellers are desparate. That would be a 10% discount from the original listing price.
See, even The Front Steps is waxing about the virtues of the Sunset becoming of ageā¦
Take it a step further and think about the āOuterā Avenues. The Western shore of San Francisco. The āOuterlandsā. The sand dunes. The desolation. The edge of the Continent. The place nobody wanted to be, because it is āalways foggyā (When I have listings out this way, people actually come up to me and ask, āIs it ever sunny out here?āā¦no joke). As it turns out, itās the most popular place to buy in San Francisco at the moment (close second would be Bernal Heights). Why is that? Itās one of the few areas in San Francisco you can still get a single family home under $1.3Mā¦barely.
Think back to 2014 when the average home in the Outer Avenues could be had for under $900,000 , and look at the four overbids on this top 10 list in the avenues, all trading well over $1.2M. Itās nuts! But itās reality.
As a reference point, to make sure I wasnāt delusional, I pulled the averages for the Outer Sunset and Outer Parkside 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. Have a lookā¦
Type Units Sold | List Price | Sqft | LPPSF| DOM | Sales Price | SPPSF
Type Units Sold | List Price | Sqft | LPPSF| DOM | Sales Price | SPPSF
Single-Family | (142) | $759,918 | 1358 | $595 | 34 | $854,982 | $670
Single-Family | (142) | $844,974 | 1365 | $645 | 25 | $1,012,097 | $771
Single-Family | (141) | $918,479 | 1398 | $689 | 29 | $1,080,833 | $808
Single-Family | (28) | $910,195 | 1237 | $778 | 31 | $1,076,107 | $906
Itās all very interestingā¦
Units Sold ā almost identical every year.
List price ā Creeped steadily up.
Average size of the home ā down.
List Price ā Up.
Days On Market ā Hovering around 30.
Sales price ā Climbing (remember 2017 is not even close to done).
And the last and easy to decipher for even the most data challenged person (like myself) Sales Price Per Square Foot ā up nearly $240 per square foot on average.
Moral of the story, itās hot in the Avenues right now.
Four of the top five overbid sales mentioned:
Weāve discussed it. What is the common theme in some of these overbids? Tunnel entrances (3) and THE MACHINE (keep in mind he had way more sales that just didnāt make the overbid list)
How far do you take the T rule. .Does it apply to a house at the end of a cul de sac ?
The worst part of a T house is the car lights shining through your house and of course the risk that they run right into your houseā¦Less chance in a cul de sac

Yes the rule does apply to cul de sac. If you donāt mind the rule then try out the house in Walnut Creek! Cheapest deal there, sellers desperate, open house this weekend!

Ok, Outer Sunset with center patio goes for 1.35M!!!
Seriously? Lipstick on a pig no work done to kitchen and bath outer sunset sold for 1.35M! Ok, what next? 
Pended, of courseā¦
This one can sell over $2M easy.
Yes, it shouldā¦which would go a long way to getting that inner vs central/outer pricing straightened out for onceā¦
So itās the same price as a Bayview condo. Not impressed.

So snobby! I think only a $5M dollar house on Pacific Heights or Atherton can impress people these days.
Wow, talk about a DOUBLE NEGATIVE!!!
And people are paying 1.5 for it. 
This one our Fearless Leader just posted about in a separate thread. It is nice and I am thinking should go easily over 2M also. But @wuqijun, would you take this cute one or the one with the views?
And there is a saying about a fool and his moneyā¦
Hard to decide. They both look great. I would take neither of course. Why give away money to people when you can save that for your own use. Always buy a fixer.
My lord, can you stop being Chinese for onceā¦just once? Pick a damn house!!!
Ok I would buy the 12345 as primary residence and the house w/view as secondary vacation home.
