What a difference a week makes. After last week’s lackluster report, look at the number or ratified deals. As our weather gets better and better, we should see better and better numbers.

Here are the numbers the week of 2/8/12:

• 4 new listings (average price $1,399,750, low $345,000, high $3,500,000)
• 24 ratified sales (pending) (average price $1,791,043, low $294,000, high $8,850,000, 1 confidential)
• 6 closed sales (average price $1,116,333, low $390,000, high $2,100,000)
• 1 back on market ($295,000)

We are still in the winter lull. As you can see, not much is happening at this time in the City.

Here are the numbers the week of 2/1/12:

• 4 new listings ($550,000, $1,295,000, $1,895,000 and 1 confidential)

Steady, steady. It’s like water torture during the first months of any new year. Listings are picking up. Expect the numbers to improve as we move forward into 2012 toward the presidential election, provided there are no surprises and the market and economy continue to grind along in a positive direction.

Our office meetings have resumed for 2012. We have a returning office manager, John McInerney, who replaced Dawn Ross at the beginning of the month. Under his tenure we hope to recruit some great agents from across the city from other brokerages who want to move to a higher volume office.

Sales figures were expectedly sluggish to start off the new year. Here are the numbers the week of 1/11/12:

SFResidence is part of the TRI Coldwell Banker office at 1699 Van Ness in San Francisco which is one of the premier offices in the City and has the market share numbers to prove it. We have the most elite agents selling real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area. As a result, our office posts some impressive numbers.

Even though we cruise steadily toward the Holidays, sales keep happening. As you can see listings have all but dried up, but many of those that are out there with other companies are being sold by people in our office. All market reports project a positive outlook for real estate in 2012.

Here are the numbers the week of 12/14/11:

• 1 new listing ($1,700,000)
• 8 ratified sales (pending) (average price $1,179,429, low $550,000, high $2,785,000, 1 confidential)
• 10 closed sales (average price $1,278,900, low $350,000, high $2,785,000)

We have truly hit the holiday season as the sales figures have trailed off. As our monthly sales figures show, sales number are down, but single family homes under $2M are still selling over the asking price, on average.

Once again listings are few and far between in our office, but as you can see from the numbers below we are still making those deals.
