2010 Changes to the SFAR MLS Map (I will post a map as soon as I can find one)

On the evening of August 10, 2010, the SFAR MLS will begin using a new map to delineate

subdistrict boundaries. All properties in the MLS will automatically be reassigned that evening

to their new subdistricts, where applicable. Off market data, including sold property will also be

reassigned to align with the new map.

Map collateral suitable for print and website posting will be available exclusively to participants

and subscribers to the SFAR MLS. To preview the new map or download collateral, please visit

sfrealtors.com. New versions of the paper maps will be available August 2nd, 2010.

I just completed my 4th all-cash deal this year. Our office as a whole is racking up the most all-cash deals this year in recent memory. I have a few more all-cash buyers lined up and ready to buy too.

This says something – perhaps we have hit the bottom of the market?

Two were for bank-owned homes, one was a move-up buyer and one was a second-home buyer.
