Open House reviews


So we did our rounds of local 2bd places that are under 800k. That price is still way too much for us but we're confident those places will be going for much less sooner than expected. The most difficult part of planning open houses viewing these days is not finding places that are somewhat affordable enough, it is keeping track of places we've already seen. The same places are showing week after week. But some of those places are finally lowering their places. Take 969 Hayes #4. We saw it over a month ago. It's right around the corner from our current place. A decent Victorian 2bd, small bedrooms with carpet, hardwood everywhere else, shared laundry, bathroom needs remodeling. They were asking something like 789k. Now it is 739k. Still total bullshit but it's a start. I mean at that price, 1271 McAllister looks like a steal for 799k. But that place is still on the market. That might be because of the freaky looking realtor showing the place, shown here (this is actually a more flattering pic). We saw a loft in the lower Haight. I don't remember the fucking address but trust me I'll be seeing signs for it for a long time. It's a 850 sq. ft 1bd loft for 679k! The chick's dad was showing the place. Nice guy but he's trying to tell us how the price is great because something similar went for over 700k. Dude, all that tells me is that those idiots got ripped off even more than you're trying to rip me off. We were the third group to sign in on his notepad so he probably ended up with 5-6 that day.
