875 Vermont Street, No. 204

Relaxed. Practical. Upgraded. Surprising. Comfortable Nest. 

Number 204 is a rarely available, courtyard-side, 1-bed condominium with in-unit laundry, parking and outdoor access that's just been thoughtfully updated. The details are what makes this space enjoyable and comfortable. Unlike many of the units here, 204 has two large sweeping patio doors overlooking the rear courtyard allowing a light and airy feel all day. The space lives large and has a quality feel. 204's updates include new dimmable LED lighting everywhere; new hardware and trim; and, a gorgeous walnut feature wall with metal inlay detail + plenty of power for your large TV, DVR, gaming system(s) + soundbar. There's an inviting, bright, catalog-worthy kitchen and dining area for noshing or work. There's a bright bedroom with large closet, big west-facing window, and new architectural recessed lighting. Steps away from a dog park, playground + urban trail at McKinley Square, 875 is rated as ”very walkable.” Also near the vibrant Mission District, Potrero's main areas and 101.

This part of Vermont Street also happens to be the curviest street in the city (sorry Lombard Street).

Terms & Conditions

Real estate is always changing and evolving. It's complex and can be as fickle as it is surprising. And while the information and knowledge on this site is considered to be accurate and correct, it cannot be warranted. Market conditions in San Francisco, California, and the world can change with a tweet or a sneeze and is beyond anyone's control.

In San Francisco, things like local, state and federal tax regulations can change with big implications. Other things like rent control rules, eviction control, lending practices and standards, building and zoning regulations are just a few of the other things that can change with little or no notice. All of these things and other intangible factors can and will impact market values and performance. 

Kevin is a licensed California attorney but focuses on real estate about 99.9 percent of the time. It's important to note that while you can’t take the attorney out of him he will not be acting as your attorney here. This speaks to the larger point that you should also seek out qualified folks who work in their respective sectors if you have further questions.

IN CONTRACT.

180 Corwin Street, Unit No. 2

Sweeping, dramatic and hypnotizing views of San Francisco’s gleaming skyline define 180 Corwin for sure, but so do its modern luxe finishes, proximity to the Castro and Noe Valley as well as its cul-de-sac location next to the equally dramatic Kite Hill open space that effectively serves as the home’s 2.5-acre backyard (yes, true to its name, people actually fly kites here). Unit 2 at 180 Corwin has 2 beds, 1 bath, 1-car garage parking and deeded storage. Unit 2’s incredible views change so much during the day, varying from an alpine meadow, a forest of houses to a dramatic twinkling skyline at night.

Updated for sale, Unit 2’s kitchen has all-new appliances, countertops, hardware and lighting. Just-refinished warm-feeling matte oak floors that absorb and recast luminous sunlight during the day to give the space that sought-after light and breezy feel. At night, the skyline’s sparkling lights brilliantly contrast with the warm rich light from newly updated recessed LED lighting. There’s a great public/private layout with the kitchen and open living/dining/patio area on one side with the oversized master bedroom and guest bedroom, each with recessed lighting and generous closets, on the other.

The building completed its seismic retrofitting last year and is part of the condo conversion schedule that should resume soon. 

LISTED AT:

$949,000

LEARN HOW NOW → Put Expertise at work for you. Kevin+Jonathan Top 1% San Francisco Real Estate Agents We had a wonderful experience working with Kevin, Jonathan, and Raffi. We have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay area. They are clearly experts in their industry.

One of their many strengths is breaking down the many steps of purchasing a home into simple easy to understand terms. Their advice was always considerate, honest and supportive.

— Ross+Rhea , Buyers, Industrial Design + Tech, Castro/Eureka Valley/Mission Dolores, who, after a few bids, beat out higher offers here as the seller’s agent knew we’d get the job done. bespoke real estate for buyers and sellers Start Right Here → It’s Time to Change Your Life Kevin+Jonathan Kevin K. Ho, Esq. + Jonathan B. McNarry Kevin and Jonathan helped us find (and close!) on our dream house!

We talked to a number of buyers’ agents, however Kevin and Jonathan really stood out. Not only did they answer all our questions with their wealth of online information, but also taught us what to look for (and what to watch out for) in person as we toured homes with them.

Once we found *the home* they helped us craft an amazing pre-emptive offer that landed us the house. After we were under contract, Kevin and Jonathan handled all the little details, allowing us to close in under 2 weeks!

With all the people we interacted with in the home-buying process, Kevin and Jonathan are our top recommendation.

— Kitt and Jonathan, Buyers, Tech + Internet Architecture, Bernal Heights San Francisco is beautiful START WITH KEVIN+JONATHAN NOW → Make the right move. Kevin +Jonathan On Top of San Francisco Real Estate When I had my first phone conversation with Kevin and Jonathan, my gut told me that THIS is the team I want to work with when the time came for me to sell. I didn’t even bother interviewing other agents. They worked with me on both selling and buying transactions and the results speak for themselves.

If there was one word to describe my experience with Kevin and Jonathan, it’s ”smart.” They know the current market environment and also helped educate and guide me to getting both buying and selling done.

— Clodel, Seller and Buyer, Retail Apps.,SoMa + Excelsior TIME TO GET STARTED → Always Be Supported Kevin+Jonathan Top 1% San Francisco Real Estate Agents Kevin and Jonathan are a fantastic team. I found them via Yelp and, for once, the superlative reviews were accurate. They helped me sell my place in less than a month for a great price. They answered all my questions, gave me proactive suggestions, and never once left me hanging.

— Mary W., Seller, Government, the Richmond District, whose property sold in a week, over asking after she followed our prep plan. Raffi in Glen Canyon GET GOING WITH KEVIN+JONATHAN NOW → Understanding the emotional. Kevin +Jonathan San Francisco Real Estate Can Be Amazing We had such an amazing experience with Kevin purchasing our first home in a crazy competitive market like SF. We visited together some homes we liked and we were really impressed by his knowledge and as well helping us guiding through the process. Kevin did a fantastic job being there for us almost 24/7 with all our questions. He made the process so easy for us and beyond just getting the place — provided us with very thoughtful curated information what we need to know as homeowners.

We trusted Kevin right from the beginning and his combination of being very professional, knowledgeable but at the same time understanding the emotional side that we went through purchasing the home. This was truly an amazing experience

— Oliver + Janette, Buyers, Tech/Industrial Design, The Richmond, a pre-emptive offer that saved time and money

San Francisco Unlocked and Unblocked — Block by Block. 

We drill down to the neighborhoods, the side of the street you're on, which way the wind blows at 4:00 a.m. and p.m. to help our clients — who are both buyers and sellers, first-timers, veterans to the market and repeat — understand the variety, nuance and micro-markets that fit into our 7-mile-by-7-mile slice of the world.

TOP 

1

PERCENT

Thanks to our devoted client base and their referrals and repeat business, we've been able to rank in the City's top echelon of agents for many years. We always remember that our success is rooted in our clients' success. We're in this together. 

Mr. Raffi McNarry-Ho.

(The Black Lab)

San Francisco has its very own real estate dog. Whether Raffi is helping our buyers sniff out the competition or our sellers out by looking his friendly self, Raffi does his part in Kevin+Jonathan's success.  

Forward Thinking.

Local Experts with A Global Reach.

We could be working with any brokerage in San Francisco or even be an independent one. But we chose to align with a company that is distinct, special and successful — Vanguard Properties. The (last) locally owned and operated major brokerage in San Francisco, the firm has deep roots in the LGBT community, new development and the community at large. 

What's it Like to Work with Kevin+Jonathan?  

Importantly, Kevin and Jonathan had great suggestions and advice on making our offer compelling, helping us secure the property we really wanted despite not being all-cash nor the highest offer!

— Ross & Sarah, Successful Buyers and Homeowners of a Noe Valley Single-Family Home, who later remodeled and updated their home. Ross and Sarah also referred many other happy buyers — many of whom are also now homeowners thanks to Kevin+Jonathan. Also pictured, Mr. Raffi pays a follow-up visit to the growing family.

We love what we do.

But more importantly, our clients love what we do too. 

Yes, other San Francisco agents seek to work with us and our clients because they know we will follow-through and stay true

Kevin and Jonathan helped us sell our home in the Lower Haight, and they were fantastic! We seriously cannot recommend them enough. Kevin and Jonathan are knowledgeable, savvy, hands-on agents who are worth their weight in gold! If you need to buy or sell, WORK WITH THEM! They CARE about their clients as PEOPLE.

From the beginning stages of brainstorming ideas, to the execution and final sale, Kevin and Jonathan were with us every step of the way. They knew exactly what needed to be done and who to talk to, whether it be design, painting, hiring contractors or staging.

They were also incredibly knowledgeable about the market and what potential buyers would be looking for. Once the sales process was in play, it quickly became apparently that Kevin and Jonathan know how to run a competitive process. They sold our property and helped us get an amazing return.

— LJ & Lawrence, Personal Consulting and Gaming, Sellers, Lower Haight, who followed our advice on strategic remodeling and updates to realize a gain of $740,000 in just two years.

Respected In the Community (of Other Agents)

About 10–20 percent of real estate agents in San Francisco account for 80 percent of all the transactions that take place in the City. This relatively small community is one full of so many types of personalities, approaches, style and practices. To stand out among this community takes experience, courtesy and professionalism that form the basis of a solid reputation. 

Other Agents Want to Work with Us And Our Clients

It’s nice to be held in high regard or esteem by co-workers (and even competitors), right? Our clients benefit from our great reputation among the agent community. And yes — it really does make a difference as to who your representation is.  

PRESENTATION + PACKAGING

We always remember that other agents and their clients are our audience as well who need to be seen, acknowledged and engaged.

{One of the Best Open Houses in 40 Years}

I must say that your entire property from stem to stern, showed Spectacular! ... In any event, everything was extremely well balanced — the pictures, art work, mirrors, window treatments, lighting fixtures, interior & exterior paint jobs, back yard, and the total ambiance that the two of you created in your presence with your cordiality & friendly personalities, made this one of the best open house presentations that I have ever experienced in 40 years as a Realtor!

— Long time Noe Valley agent 

(Unsolicited feedback about our listing at 1617 Church Street, which saw our clients realize a nearly $450,000 gain (35%) in 2 years without major renovations, just better preparation that we personally supervised) 

Yes, other San Francisco agents seek to work with us and our clients because they know we will follow-through and stay true

Agents Have Good Memories. Let’s Make Those Fond Ones, Shall We? 

We received a lot of good offers… but based on our past relationship and how smoothly it went, I pushed for your offer.

— Listing Agent, San Francisco, Corona Heights

(Our buyer won an attractive Corona/Castro property by beating out 2 other competitive and similar offers)

Your clients got the property because of you!

— Listing Agent, San Francisco, Haight District

(Our buyers won and beat out 1 other similar offer)

 

I presented your clients offer to my sellers and told them about you in particular and encouraged them to go with you.

— Listing Agent, San Francisco, Eureka Valley

(Our buyers’ carefully crafted preemptive offer was accepted instead of going to market, where property would have sold for more most likely)

Large Silver Maple Home in Blackhawk

308 Red Maple is an opportunity to revisit and rewrite the 1980s — all in the sought-after, quiet and idyllic setting of Blackhawk’s Silver Maple neighborhood in Danville.

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.

TELL EVERYONE about us
NOT JUST ANY NEWSLETTER, BUT ONE YOU’LL WANT TO READ

This isn’t the newsletter that tells you it’s time to clean out your gutters or that springtime is a groundbreaking time for florals, but this newsletter will tell you how properties actually sold and why. The stories behind the numbers. When a property was a fixer/flipper, when a list price was a just a teaser price and what new, coming-soon or off-market listings you’ll want to keep your eye on.

So join the newsletter that 630 other ‘in the know’ readers have joined and read regularly and what one developer calls the “bible” of newsletters, what another seller giddily waits for and nudges her husband when it appears in the inbox and what others have said is hands down the best in the business, by signing up below. You won’t regret it and your information stays us. Not even the folks at Vanguard Properties get it.

76 Fairfield Way

Detached Mt. Davidson Manor Fixer House With Big Potential

76 Fairfield Way has a commanding and stately presence with western views nearly as big as the opportunity that 76 Fairfield presents its future owners. This fully detached, nearly 1,700-sqft, three-story home sits on a large parcel with a private and large backyard that could be home to your future terraced garden, gazebo, bocce ball court or outdoor dining room. The home dates from 1928 and retains some of its original features like coved ceilings, vintage wood floors, and formal dining room. There have been updates over the years but there’s still an undeveloped garage area to capture and opportunity to maximize the afternoon light the home gets. Located up the hill from a revitalizing Ocean Avenue and its new amenities, 76 Fairfield is less than 10 minutes away from 280, public transit (BART and MUNI), as well as City College and SF State.

NOW SELLING: 234 Laussat Street, San Francisco
Hayes Valley/Lower Haight/Duboce Triangle Single-Family Home

234 Laussat is a well-proportioned, single-family Victorian row home on this quiet, one-way, tree-lined lane near Duboce Park, the Wiggle, and MUNI. It’s warm, comfortable, and endearing. No. 234 has an appraiser-measured 1,500 sqft of living area over 2 levels with 2 beds and 2 full baths and a private back garden that’s a true urban retreat. Thanks to Georgian and Victorian influences, No. 234, which dates from 1890, has undeniable curb appeal and overall elegance that harkens back to a simpler time for sure.

This elegant home features a modern gas kitchen, gray-washed floors, laundry, divided glass windows, tall ceilings and a massive skylight on the top floor where the two bedrooms are. The master bedroom is spacious and has a walk-in closet and sweet Juliet-balcony overlooking the jasmine-scented back garden. There are large true-divided windows that let filtered sun into the spacious living room that also has a stylish and working fireplace. While street parking is relatively available, No. 234’s central location — in between Steiner and Fillmore Streets — and its 100 Transit Score, 97 Walk Score and 94 Bike Score means that you too can live in a simpler time without a car.

Live SF Real Estate Stats – What‘s Happening in YOUR Neighborhood from Kevin Ho and Jonathan McNarry – Live Real Estate Sale Price Data

July 28, 2019 Advice, Buy Now, Buyer Advice, San Francisco Real Estate, San Francisco Real Estate Districts, Vanguard Properties
[stack_hero_video image=”12340″ mpfour=”https://www.kevinandjonathan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/stats-for-sf.mp4″]

How's the Market Doing In Your Neighborhood?

Yes, there are ups and downs from time to time but the trend is positive

[/stack_hero_video]

Market Data for Our MLS Districts

All the data that’s fit to syndicate:

Click below for live median sale price data sorted by San Francisco’s real estate districts. The data stream is constantly updated.

SUMMARY:

Our market’s growth recovered after its low of 2011/2012 and has averaged a 6-7% growth rate over the last 30 years. As of 2020, we’re seeing the following:

  • Prices for iconic neighborhoods on the north side are always strong, but the luxury, ultra-high-end properties ($10 million or above) are taking longer to sell. But when properties sell up north they usually start in the $1,500/sqft+ range — all the way up to well past $2,000/sqft range.
  • Prices show that inventory is still tight for the middle districts (all the Valleys — Cole, Hayes, Eureka, Noe, the Haight, Mission Dolores, Duboce Triangle, Glen Park, Potrero, Bernal Heights with average prices starting in the $1,100+/sqft range
  • More residential neighborhoods — i.e., where single-family houses dominate, the Sunset, Richmond, Excelsior — were seeing lots of buyers out at open houses with multiple offers for fixers, done-up houses, etc. Price ranges vary far more because of the sheer number of houses and the finish level variation you would expect to find — anywhere from $800/sqft up to $1,500/sqft+ The closer a property is to the central core (the Inner Sunset, Inner Richmond, West Portal, Inner Parkside) the more expensive.
  • Luxury/high rise living is still strong in the South Beach/Rincon/Mission Bay area with sales take a little longer than houses but prices staying consistent with gradual appreciation.
  • COVID-19 — San Francisco was one of the first places to issue a shelter-in-place order in mid-March. As a response, available inventory declined by 50%. That said, ‘off-market’ statuses like ‘coming soon’ and ‘hold’ have swelled on the MLS. These are agent-only statuses not available for public consumption. Similarly, off-market venues like Top Agent Network and Aalto (which were to be disrupted by MLS rule changes in April/May 2020), have seen a marked increase in usage and listings. Watch Kevin discuss the methods and prospects for buyers and sellers in San Francisco on the evening news here.
  • As previous pandemics have shown (the Spanish flu in 1918, another in the 1950s and, more recently, with SARS), a recent Zillow study of historic real estate sales data show that the number of transactions will decline (obviously) but home prices stay consistent so by when the all-clear is given the real estate market will pick up where it left off. Therefore, hold onto your seats for a busy summer and fall 2020.
