Google Effect in Noe Valley

At a recent brunch, Carol Lloyd of SF Gate overheard some folks talking about why they think Noe Valley home prices have remained high. Their conclusion–the Google shuttle.

“In an era of high oil prices and global warming consciousness, good transit plus good jobs really does equal a strong housing market — even when all else in the economy seems to be going all higgledy-piggeldy.”

5 Alarm Fire

Historic Firehouse #44 has been restored to none of it’s original glory. However, it has been resored into a masterpiece of a slick, modern, non-kid-friendly home with amazing views, high-end finishes and the “cool factor” that goes along with living in a fire house.

Schtuff:

  • October 2005: Active for 71 days with an asking price of $2.695m. Withdrawn.
  • February 2006: Active for 8 days for an asking price of $2.696m; sold for $2.1m
  • May 2008: On the market currently for $6.375m
  • Kitschy elements used in the remodel include fire-hose nozzel fountain, fire-hose used as staging item.
  • Worst part of the remodel: the pole is encased in glass. NOT IN USE. BOOOOO!
  • Best part of the remodel: outdoor decks, walk-in wine closet and kitchen with separate galley sous chef space/kitchen
