Homes You Can Buy for Under $450K in San Francisco October 20th, 2008

If you can squeak up to $450,000 for a San Francisco home purchase, you can buy a major fixer house in the Mission District a tidy little home in the Bayview or Oceanview district or condos with cool architecture (albeit small square footage) in San Francisco. Here are some examples:

$439,000 - Small, sexy one bedroom apartment in a brick and timber building. This is a new development just off Market Street in the heart of the Financial District. I toured the homes last week.  The least expensive units are usually nestled up against the office building next door. Nice finishings, good lay-outs.

 $449,000 View one-bedroom in Pacific Heights. Marina style apartment building. Classic architecture with coved ceilings, and hardwood floors. No parking, and car-owners will be challenged in this neighborhood. The price was just reduced from $469,000 a week ago, and it may be time for this one to sell. Call today if you want to get in.

SOMA condo in San Francisco for under $450,000$425,000 - Highrise studio apartment across from the Yerba Buena Center. SOMA is made up of micro-neighborhoods. Yerba Buena is one of my favorites because it is a true walking neighborhood with a park, carousel, skating rink, movie theater, three museums and scads of restaurants all around. The building is circa mid-80s, and the architecture holds up well, with curved windows and great light. Listing information courtesy of Skybox Realty.
 About houses for in the $350-450K range: Again, most of your options will be in the Bayview or Oceanview district, unless you are a contractor willing to take on something nearly uninhabitable in a neighborhood like Bernal or the Mission. This cute little house is in a cul-de-sac block in the Oceanview District. It’s a short sale and was in escrow for some time before coming back on the market two months ago. 2br/2ba, funky Victorian lay-out, but very sweet. Call me and I’ll get you in.

As of October 20, 2008, all these properties are available. Please call 415-577-0809 if you would like to arrange a showing.
