Located at the corner of FOLSOM AND MAIN STREETS in one of the iconic highrise’s retail spaces, the store is a much needed convenience to the ever-evolving neighborhood and especially to the residents at Lumina, now 85% sold. The store is delighted to be an anchor retailer and the first full-service grocery store in the area, committed to the neighborhood’s growth. For over thirty years Woodland Markets have sold natural and sustainable products from local suppliers, offering a large selection of fresh produce, meat, and seafood, along with a variety of prepared foods. The new location at Lumina is approximately 9,500-square-feet, and has a coffee bar  with in-house juices, and fresh bread made daily. LUMINA residents were invited to a sneak peek preview of the new market recently.

A Sellers Market in San Francisco

How long can the residential real estate market go on like this? We are about two years into a national trend of dropping housing supply and increasing median sales prices. There are some regional variations to the story, but the shift to a predominantly seller’s market is mostly complete. According to a recent report by the San Francisco Association of Realtors, the median sales price for condos increased last month to $1,065,000 in district 9 – that’s an increase of 12.1% over last year. Multiple-offer situations are now commonplace, as good homes routinely go for over asking price and are off the market in a single day. In July  50% of all condominiums in District 9 sold over list price. It is evident that a favorable San Francisco economy keeps buyers in the chase. If you are curious about your home’s current market value, contact me and I will do a market analysis.

A Strong Demand For Home Buying in San Francisco

Posted on by lesliebauersf

As has been the case for month after month – and now year after year – low inventory is the primary culprit for any sales malaise rather than lack of offers. There is strong demand for home buying, emphasized by higher prices and multiple offers on homes for sale, none of which is news to San Franciscans. The San Francisco Association of Realtor reports that in June new listings were down 36.0 percent for Condo/TIC/Coop properties, however pending sales increased. The Median Sales Price was up 10.8 percent for single family homes but decreased 2.6 percent to $1,145,000 for Condo/TIC/Coop properties.

How much is your property worth now?
