Update 2020: This is a post that shares why I sold my rental home in 2017 after a tremendous amount of deliberation. And while the information on this site is considered to be accurate and correct, it cannot be warranted as being such because things, like tax law changes of late, or San Francisco's complicated Rent Ordinance (and interpretations of such), or ever-changing market values — to name a few — can and do change with little notice, logic or reason.
Founded in 1976 to provide independent brokerages with a powerful marketing and referral program for luxury listings, the Sotheby's International Realty network was designed to connect the finest independent real estate companies to the most prestigious clientele in the world.



Add in public policy concerns about social justice, rent control, development, the fog, access to transit and other things like Prop 13 and capital sale house fast gains and you'll start to make sense of why the City's annualized appreciation for real estate has been at 6-7% for the past 30+ years.

The Kauffman Foundation, a nonprofit that measures entrepreneurship in the US, found that places like Maine and Washington, DC, had higher indicators of startup activity than California in their latest report This makes sense given that more people are moving out of the Bay Area than moving in, according to a 2018 report last year from two leading Silicon Valley community organizations And a survey from the Bay Area City Council in 2018 found that 46 percent of Bay Area residents want to move.

With some of the most unique and colorful homes in the country , the expectations of aesthetics are held to a higher standard in this city, and with such a high cost to own, you need to put the best possible face on your property if you expect to sell your house fast in San Francisco.
Paying $500,000+ in property taxes alone during this time period didn't sound too appealing either. Getting a $2,740,000 rental property may mean a multi-unit building, or a large house somewhere else in America that would require a lot of upkeep.

In early autumn, listings start pouring on the market after Labor Day for the relatively short fall selling season through mid-November - with a concomitant jump in sales.

In California, sellers must wait 90 days from the time a listing is withdrawn to list it again—a hard choice for sellers who need to sell their homes quickly. High stock markets, low interest rates, surging luxury home sales, limited inventory, a spring full of unicorn IPOs, and San Francisco - once again -hits new highs in median home sales prices.
The uninterrupted growth in property prices has everyone overly concerned. Next month's newsletter will include a full review of your local housing market in 2019 and will offer our predictions for 2020. Comparing 2019 YTD to 2018, the median house sales price is about the same, even though new monthly and quarterly peaks were hit year to date.

Many people selling their home are realizing a huge gain (that's a great thing!) but this profit can exceed the capital gains exclusion for a primary residence.
