On the other side of the equation is this: Consumer Confidence dips in February, http://www.conference-board.org/economics/consumerConfidence.cfm. Is this an indication of things to come? Remember, the San Francisco real estate market is like a micro-climate. Things happen differently here, maybe even a bit backwards. Kind of like the weather. $$___ Maximum Overbid(TM) of the week**: 4209 22nd Street in Noe Valley. (Reller! Pay attention!!!) Two bed, one bath, one car parking. Approx. 1197 square feet, 14 days on the market, asking $899,000 sold for $1,250,000!!! That is $1,044 per square foot. Listing it at $899,000 is a bit ridiculous to tell you the truth.
