Berkeley Home Sells For 40% Under Asking Price
Ouch, that must have hurt.
A north Berkeley home I have been following since it went on the market in May 2008, finally sold last month — a full 40.5% down on its original asking price of $1,849,000.

Berkeley: Top Prize for Swiftest Reduction?
I know it’s par for the course these days to list your home and then reduce the price — possibly several times — before, you hope and pray, you eventually sell it.
But this must set some sort of record in the high-end market: just two weeks after hitting the MLS at a rather astonishing $1,980,000, [...]
Starting its Descent: First Cut on Berkeley Bunker
Sometimes making predictions in this real-estate market is almost too easy.
When I reported on 7080 Kenilworth Road in early December — a bunker-like, 4+/5, 5,000 sq ft contemporary home on the Berkeley/Oakland border up in the Claremont hills — the listing agent was citing its price as between $4,799,000-$4,999,000.

Bay Area Home Prices Rewind Seven Years
It’s a data-rich time in the real-estate market with reports on the state of the housing crisis coming in thick and fast.
The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices (HPI) has just released its latest numbers which cover the two months since November 2008. And the picture for the San Francisco Bay Area is not pretty.
Year on year, [...]
More Kudos For My Future Architect

I want lashings of sunlight, clean modern lines, smooth sustainable wood floors, picture windows and wraparound decks. A hot tub under the stars and a firepit would be nice too. And while we’re at it maybe [...]
London Calling

Living, Breathing Buildings
Residents of Emeryville know what it’s like to live in a retail mecca. Heck, maybe that’s why they moved there in the first place. The city is awash with big-box stores. And if they live in the Bay Street development they are likely to be literally “living above the shop”.
The arrival of another big name [...]
Two North Berkeley Mega Homes
Estate agents use the term “important” homes — which sometimes means they are interesting, and always means they are expensive. Two homes hit the Berkeley listings this week which might qualify.
Neither are really my style — and certainly I could think of better ways of decorating them — but there are elements to each that [...]
