New Price Adjustment! Totally Modernized Victorian Built in 1875

1703 Gough Street

Now at: $3,395,000

New Price Adjustment! Totally modernized Victorian built in 1875 still feels Victorian. Modern touches are harmonious with preservation: featuring 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths on an extra wide lot with high ceilings, hardwood floors still gleam underfoot, the banister and curved staircase are still their glorious Victorian selves, as are the ornately carved hearths — a modern fleshing out of the still-present Victorian bones.

SF Sellers take Homes Off the Market in Anticipation of IPO

• Home sales activity continued with annual declines posting a 10 percent year-over-year (YOY) decline in the first quarter.
• Sales priced over $2 million have slowed notably compared to 2018, down 25 percent YOY in Q1, but still above 2017 levels.
• However, after a short period of improved inventories, sellers in San Francisco took homes off the market in recent months waiting for IPO buyers – bringing inventories below last year’s levels in all price ranges.
• Bay Area housing markets have all the characteristics of a potentially robust home-buying season — more inventories, lower mortgage interest rates than last spring, motivated buyers and sellers, and possibly more IPOs in the pipeline.

Table 2 summarizes March’s year-over-year change in inventories across all Bay Area communities. Fortunately for Bay Area home buyers, inventory options have generally improved compared to last year. In addition, inventory of homes priced below $1 million has improved, driven by jumps in Alameda and Santa Clara. Read the full article @bethanywpatten

Compass March Job Report

Jobs Report suggests continued strength in employment, alleviating fears of looming recession.


Today’s much anticipated national employment report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics provided further evidence of continued solid economic growth. There were 196,000 jobs added in March, after a wild swing between January’s 312,000 additions and February’s 33,000 additions. The three-month average is now 180,000 in the first quarter, which was above economists’ expectations and still robust considering the low unemployment rate of 3.8 percent. The unemployment rate remained unchanged in March.

30-YEAR Mortgages see Biggest One-Week Drop in a Decade

According to the FHLMC (Freddie Mac), the average 30-year mortgage interest rate dropped to 4.06%, the biggest 1-week decline in 10 years, and down from 4.94% in November 2018. That rates are approaching 4% is an amazing turnaround from expectations a few months ago.

Two out of three people say now is a good time to buy a home according to a survey by the National Association of Realtors conducted during the first quarter of 2019.

• U.S. home price growth outpaced annual appreciation in the San Francisco metropolitan area, while San Jose saw home prices fall from the fourth quarter of 2017.
• Despite cooling price growth, San Francisco and San Jose remain America’s most expensive housing markets.

California Home Sellers Want 2017 Prices, but Buyers Are Patient in 2019

Home price reductions, sales changes, and median price changes in the Bay Area, June 2016 through January 2019.


California housing markets are at a critical juncture at the beginning of 2019. After experiencing the tightest market conditions seen over the past three years in the first half of 2018, the number of homes sold in the Bay Area and Los Angeles has continuously declined since mid-2018. In January 2019, the year-over-year decrease in home sales continued at double-digit-percent rates, with the three-month average decline in the Bay Area at 16 percent and Los Angeles down by 18 percent. In other words, over the last three months, about 1,100 fewer units sold on average per month than last year in Los Angeles, while the Bay Area averaged about 700 fewer sales.


Sellers have noticed the cooling buyer demand, which has led them to change their pricing expectations. But even with more price reductions, added inventory, and lower mortgage rates, buyers are not as confident as they were last spring. View full detail @bethanywpatten

The Bay is rising. Where does that leave a wave of big waterfront projects?

A 2018 state report on sea-level rise estimates that waters will rise 1.1 to 2.7 feet by 2050 and between 2.4 and 10.2 feet by 2100. The range depends on factors such as how sharply greenhouse gas emissions are curbed over the next several decades.


Water levels also fluctuate based on weather, storms and king tides, unusually high tides that periodically crest.


With the right planning, project designs and innovative construction, new developments can not only survive the effects of climate change, but in some cases, can help protect the region from flooding and erosion. Read more @bethanywpatten

U.S. Homebuyer Confidence Dropped in the Second Half of 2018

• Sixty-three percent of Americans thought that it was a good time to purchase real estate as of the fourth quarter, down from 72 percent on an annual basis.

Although nearly two-thirds of Americans think that now is a good time to purchase a home, buyer optimism about the housing market is at its lowest point in three years despite Americans’ mostly positive outlook on the economy.


Even as homebuyer sentiment remained restrained, most Americans are confident in the state of the economy. Fifty-nine percent of those surveyed believe that the economy is on the right track, nearly identical to the first three quarters of 2018 and up from 52 percent one year earlier. Read more on the @bethanywpatten

Need money for a down payment on a house? There’s an app for that

Saving for a down payment is one of the biggest impediments to homeownership, and while some lenders will extend a mortgage with a down payment as low as three percent, many low-income renters simply don’t have the means to come up with thousands of dollars to put down on a mortgage.


HomeFundIt combines crowdfunding and a new cash-back shopping program to help you raise money for a down payment. Read more on the @bethanywpatten

Bay Area Housing Inventory Again Posted a Solid Increase in November
