1. Our back of the envelope calculations indicate “listed” housing inventory in San Francisco is up around 25% since the beginning of the year (but remains painfully low). Not factored in, a growing inventory of “unlisted” new development units (think Alamo Square, or 10 of the 17 units at 776 Tehama/1277 Howard).
2. Brown & Co. gets it done: 2967 Pine Street closed escrow at a contract price of $1.510M ($1,220/sqft); $85K over list, but $140K under what Sotheby’s had originally asked (thanks Robert).
3. Post stuccoing “artists rendering” of 300 Sea Cliff has been added to the listing (thanks Damion). The first thing we’d do if we bought this gem? Chip it all right back off.
4. More free “Ice Cream!” tonight and this weekend at The Metropolitan (thanks Paul).
5. Apparently we’ve got game (thanks Derek).
