REAL ESTATE • Sold
Even as working from home has abated, the (ostensibly pandemic-fueled) rush to snap up single-family homes in SF’s outer neighborhoods has not. Outer Sunset and Outer Richmond are especially booming, with homes in the plus-19th Avenues moving for what strike some as bargain prices. Don’t be fooled: Many of these homes were late 1950s and early ’60s constructions, and until recently, were occupied by their original owners. For every $100K it looks like you’re saving, a potential $250K in deferred maintenance may await.
Don’t worry, it’ll be worth it in the end when you have that beach view, a pleasant walk to coffee, and a huge yard to blow off some post-reno steam. Here, now, three recent sales of note among this cohort. –Eve Batey
