Hello from Janis!

Well, the fickle finger of fog has settled over the City as it does this time of year. Warm temperatures inland cause the cool, moist sea air to be drawn into the Bay Area. We call it nature's air conditioning. For this reason things really cool off during the summer!

But not in the San Francisco real estate market. As bad news abounds on the evening news about the housing market woes, San Francisco seems to be the exception. Although we are getting a slight slow down as we typically do this time of year, the higher end is holding steady, and multiple offers and over asking price offers are still quite common.

The August Real Estate Market Report for July is now available on our website. July sales histories may be seen here.

We will be going to the Elite Retreat in Los Angeles later this month as well as the Previews Retreat (for the luxury market) to make our strong network of agents in other areas to whom we can refer with confidence even stronger. If you or someone you know needs to buy or sell property somewhere else in the country, keep us in mind. In return for the lead, we'll give you a chance to win our Rewards for RE-ferrals contest.

Want to vacation in North Lake Tahoe? We have a lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath condominium available for rent in Tahoe City at St. Francis Lakeside, a lake front complex close to the boat ramp. It has been recently updated with new kitchen counters, floor and appliances, light fixtures, dining room furniture and more! Tahoe is an excellent place to get away from the fast pace of city live and enjoy nature. This condo is on the market! We just purchased a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo with breath taking panoramic lake and mountain views which will be available shortly!

Want to sit on the beach on the Big Island of Hawaii? We have a fabulous 3 bedroom, 3 and 1/2 bath beach front condo at Waikoloa on the Big Island available for rent with ocean views and steps from the "A" Bay beach. Kolea is a gated community close to all of the amenities of Waikoloa-- swim with the dolphins, golf, swim, snorkel or just enjoy the sun. Send us an e-mail or call for details. This condo is also on the market!


Hello from Christine!

The San Francisco Business Times recently published a San Francisco residential development pipeline. There is a detailed list of the projects that are under construction, approved or in planning and in the design or conception stage. For those of you who are interested in the residential developments that are happening within San Francisco we have placed a copy of this map and pipeline on our blog, located at www.SFResidence.com.

Remember that we represent buyers and sellers at all price points and in most areas of San Francisco. We love to help friends get established in the market and make their first purchase -- it is exciting for all of us.
