Shh... Insider Alert! Are Changes Brewing in SF Real Estate?

Dear Friends,

As we approach the onset of the spring selling season, February brings a renewed sense of optimism to the San Francisco real estate landscape. With a robust stock market and a surge in consumer confidence, both buyers and sellers are diving back into the market with renewed enthusiasm. Despite having plunged from its peak in mid-2022, the inflation rate has not dropped as quickly as expected in recent months. Anecdotally, we are seeing packed weekend open houses, much like 2021. Inventory in the single-family home market remains tight, and the competition is fierce for well-priced and presented homes. Even the condo market, though slow, is showing signs of improvement, attracting buyers looking to purchase at the perceived “bottom of the market.” If you have been waiting to sell, now may be the time to start planning in order to take advantage of a shifting market. If you are looking to buy especially if you are in the condo market, there are some deals out there! Of course, we are ready to answer all your questions and help you navigate through your real estate journey.

Below, check out another amazing transformation, some of our upcoming listings, available homes & recent sales. And, of course, make sure to take advantage of fun things to do in SF and our team’s pick of the month!

PEARL 6101

We love this small neighborhood restaurant & bar in the Richmond near Sea Cliff, offering Mediterranean-inspired pastas & seafood, plus specialty cocktails! The menu categories may seem quite straightforward—Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts, sea bass—yet the true craftsmanship lies in the meticulous execution! So delicious!

DA TEAM TIP:

Don’t miss the squid ink pasta and try “The Pearl Martini,” made with locally distilled gin! We also love that post-pandemic, they continue to have a lovely outdoor seating area where you can dine al fresco under fun market lights – it’s like being on a stay-cation.

“Dale + Alla are exceptional advisors and navigators of the real estate market and guides through the home buying process. We were first time home buyers and Dale methodically walked us through every step of the process. He navigated twists and turns (including a renegotiation of sale price post-close) with thoughtfulness and grace. He communicated regularly and promptly, was always available to kick around ideas and listened carefully to our hopes and goals in buying a house. I would recommend him without hesitation to anybody and will absolutely use the DA team when we sell our house (although that won’t be for a while because we got a great spot thanks to Dale!)
