San Francisco – A Playground for the Rich, Single Foodie

Image
If you’re single, wealthy and like to eat, San Francisco is the place to be. That is according to MONEY’s “Best Places to Live 2015” feature, where the online guru of personal finance news and advice ranks U.S. cities based on job economy, real estate market, school districts and unique perks. And while we love to play the unpretentious card in San Francisco, we weren’t too surprised to see SF snag the ultimate titles for #1 Best Place for Foodies and #1 Best Place to Be Rich and Single—because let’s face it, SF is the virtual playground for the rich and single, where median incomes top off generously at $78,832 and 47.2% of the city’s population is unmarried. So what’s one to do when they’re single and have a wallet filled to the brim (even after forking over $3,500/month in rent)? Treat themselves to the finest dinners, cocktails and dates of course! Let’s take a look at some of San Francisco’s most exclusive restaurants, bars and hangout spots that attract America’s richest and ...

Size of New Homes in U.S. Shrinks by One Closet

The median size of U.S. homes built in the second quarter declined from the record set in the previous quarter, suggesting builders are starting to shift toward producing more entry-level homes. Of the 206,000 homes that went under construction in the second quarter, the median size was 2,479 square feet, according to Commerce Department data released Tuesday. That was 40 square feet smaller—or about the size of a walk-in closet—than the high set in the first quarter. The National Association of Home Builders estimates that first-time buyers, who tend to purchase entry-level homes, will account for 18% of new-home sales this year. That is up from 16% last year but still well short of their share of 25% to 27% from 2001 to 2005. Then, quarterly median sizes for new homes ranged from 2,051 to 2,263 square feet. Entry-level buyers tend to purchase smaller homes. In recent years, many younger people who otherwise would buy a home have opted to rent due to stringent mortgage-qualific...

The pilot program will launch in 27 cities and one tribal nation and reach more than 275,000 low-income households. Some communities will receive broadband connections at no charge. The Obama administration on Wednesday announced a broad initiative that aims to provide high-speed Internet service to low-income households. Dubbed ConnectHome, the new initiative will bring high-speed broadband access to over 275,000 low-income households across the US. According to the White House, the pilot program will launch in 27 cities including New York, Boston and Seattle, as well as the Choctaw Tribal Nation in Oklahoma. The effort will initially connect nearly 200,000 children to the Web, according to the White House. The pilot program is part of the Obama administration's continuing effort to close the digital divide, ensuring that everyone, regardless of income, has access to high-speed Internet service. The president in March created the Broadband Opportunity Council, comprising 2...

I Have Earned a New Friendship and a Loyal Client By Help Them Preparing a Strong Compelling Offer Package

Image
Buyer really liked the home and even though there was an offer date, we wrote a strong preemptive offer (an offer before the offer date) and our offer was accepted without competing with other buyers. The wonderful sellers also left a ton of cool personal items like swings and patio furniture and plants for my clients. Both buyer and seller were great to work with. 25 Del Monte St  San Francisco, CA  For More Information Janice Lee 415-832-9151 International President's Premier Top Producer, Top SF Realtor Investment Specialist JaniceFLee@gmail.com www.JaniceLeeHomes.com BRE #01720205

She negotiated for her buyer and Janice was able to help her client get the property for $1,050,000, $30,000 less than what the seller wanted!
