Just Paid $698K for a 1375sf Condo in SF

That sounds cheap for SF. Seriously. What neighborhood?

Gotta either be the Sirloin or Castro Districts.

What?? $500/sq foot? I just bought in SF and I paid WAY, WAY more than that.

Did you buy in the Tenderloin or Daly City? I mean if it's a great deal, congrats, but even out in Twin Peaks you're looking at $600-700/sq foot these days.

Protrero Hill. This listing is very near the one I purchased:

That used to be going rate here in Petaluma!

What area did you buy? You must be in the high rent district - Nob or PH?

Should have stayed in the mw. I bought a 3000sf, 4br, 3ba home for $245K in Omaha about 9mos ago.

South Beach, small 1br but very nicely renovated and maintained. Was renting a studio in NH before. The mortgage now is less, but after taxes, HOA, but then accounting for tax deductions the cash flow is basically a wash (plus am building equity). Hopefully no major repairs though ha ha. There were actually 5 offers higher than mine (one went into contract but financing fell through and I got it).

How much property tax do you have to pay per year?

Ah, SB is nice. 5 offers - wow. It's a hot market no doubt.

Two questions. Make it 4.

1) What do you do for a living?

2) Why don't you move?

3) Are you single?How old are you?

Might have something to do with SF being one of the most kick arse cities in the world. A bit more fun than Omaha.
