Why work with your own agent when buying San Francisco New Construction Condo.

This means you can buy a new condo in the Mission with as little as 3.5% down payment. Add in the fact that we can (most likely) negotiate a credit for closing costs and you’ve got a very good deal on your hands.

For example, right now I have clients buying a condo in San Francisco with a FHA home loan. They are putting down 3.5% of the purchase price as their down payment. There closing costs are about 2-2.5% (FHA home loans have higher closing costs). We negotiated this amount into the sales price so essentially, my clients have zero closing costs. 3.5% down payment to own a really nice 2 bedroom, 2 bath brand-new condo with parking in SF? OPM, baby!

FHA Approved Condos San Francisco

New Condos Mission District San Francisco

555 Bartlett – affordable new condos for sale in the Mission District of San Francisco is located on the corner of Bartlett, Cesar Chavez, and Mission Street.

Recently, I had the privilege of a preview. After many years of “icky vacant lot syndrome,” they are just about finished with construction. With prices starting in the $400,000s for new homes with parking in the Mission, I’d say these homes will sell fast. The location is, well, urban but totally convenient: BART, Muni, Valencia Corridor, Bernal Heights, hipper-each day lower Mission Street (think south of Cesar Chavez to Cortland Avenue)…

Luxury New Construction Condos Noe Valley

Recently, I had the opportunity to preview The Nove, brand new luxury condominiums for sale in Noe Valley, just off of the Valencia Corridor. Here’s a random tid-bit for ya: I used to live next door back in my youthful, “renter-years”!

Many of you have followed this plot of land located on Guerrero Street between 22nd and 23rd Streets as it was once the Palm Broker, then Flora Grubb Gardens, and now, oui, bien sur, Noe Valley luxury condos for sale. (What doesn’t eventually become condo?)

They are not quite finished yet but coming VERY soon. If you want a sneak-peek, email or call to let me know. The condos are gorgeous. They are large, open, modern, with functional floor plans and natural light. Yes, Guerrero Street is busy but the interiors are quiet and for convenience with major hipster cache, you cannot beat this location. I love it around here. Walk or bike everywhere (Noe Valley, Mission Dolores, Valencia Corridor’s foodie heaven) but still have a safe garage for your hot rod. Easy access to freeways and public transit (280, 101, BART, J-Church, etc).

94

The Scoop:

• 9 new construction LEED certified luxury homes for sale
  • 6 condos Guerrero Street
  • 3 town homes with private garage on Ames Street
  • All 3 or 4 bedroom homes with large square footage, around +/- 2000 square feet
  • Designed by Handel Architects, of Millennium Tower fame (Also a fabulous place to call home. Private RN74 Bartender? Hello, lover.)
  • Studio Becker kitchens
  • Clean lines, open floor plan, modern aesthetic
  • Exact pricing TBD but around $1,400,000 to $1,500,000 on average

As a local Noe Valley Realtor Team, we know the players and the deals. Let us help you buy the right home at the right terms…

So, if you don’t mind, I want to send a quick shout-out for this fabulous local San Francisco architecture firm EHDD.

And don’t forget that to get the best deal on a new construction condo purchase in SF, you’ll want your own agent negotiating the deal.

SF Downtown Condos - One Hawthorne

One Hawthorne is generating buzz. Just the other day, clients of mine who are looking to purchase a Downtown San Francisco luxury new construction condo were asking, “What’s the scoop on One Hawthorne?”

Well, drum roll please, here’s what we know so far.

This will be the only new Downtown condo development to open in 2010 and quite possibly, the last through 2013. The idea is “understated, boutique-style luxury”. You know, “Boho-chic” as I like to call it. (Coincidentally, this is also how I describe my look but that’s another tongue-in-cheek story.)

Be the first to know what’s happening at One Hawthorne by signing up for the VIP list. We have the inside scoop and can get our clients the best deals on San Francisco new construction condos. Read about why it’s beneficial to work with your own buyer’s agent when purchasing a new construction condo.

Fitness Center at the Infinity

1. As Realtors who are more trusted advisers than salespeople, here at SFHotlist, we want to help you find the best home for you regardless of location.

In other words, we want to help you discover what’s most important to you about buying a home so you will find the right condo in the right development.

It may be SomaGrand but what if it’s the Infinity, the Millennium Tower or Esprit Park? What if, after exploring your options, you actually decide you’d prefer an older Victorian condo in Noe Valley? Actually, this just happened with a client of ours. She began her search in South Beach but ultimately decided that a Noe Valley condo was the best fit for her life.

To have the most successful & enjoyable home buying experience, you want to work with a Realtor who will take the time to get to know your individual situation and talk to you about all homes for sale regardless of location or real estate company. We don’t care where you buy your home. We just care that it’s the best fit for you! Make sense?

2. We have contacts at the various new developments and know who to talk with to get you the best deal available.

Pricing in new construction developments often follows a different set of rules than resale properties. It can be confusing and difficult to decipher since finding reliable sales comps is nearly impossible! Through our sales agent relationships and the entire Zephyr Real Estate network, we are privy to information that will help you obtain the best possible value for your new condo.

Again, it comes down to the fact that we are not selling one specific product, aka a unit at Blu, we are selling our service and commitment to become your Real Estate Consultants for life. It may sound a bit cheesy, but there’s a lot involved in buying a home in San Francisco and you’ll want help to make your experience a good one.
