what does (almost) a million dollars buy in San Francisco these days
...
Since Robb and I are nervously awaiting word about the house we're hoping to buy and I want to distract myself, I'll share what an "average" almost-million-dollar house in San Francisco looks like, based on this week's real estate listings.
It is something like this.

That's a little over eight hundred square feet at $1,184 per square feet, and there's no yard.

The bathroom is awfully cute.

A million bucks will buy you an adorable converted fire station.

Plenty of room to house your vast collection of antique pinball machines, should you need a place to put them. I imagine it would be a bitch to heat.

This one, also just shy of a million dollars, looks weirdly like a house from the Simpsons.
And a few more....

This house is a thousand square feet, and almost a thousand dollars a square foot.

This is a semi-detached building, 1,633 square feet, and again, no yard. A million bucks.

Good luck.
Here, you can get a new 3897 square foot, two story home (not counting the 612 sq foot garage) for $242k.
Mama Bear, the price delta is probably due to neighborhood (view, sun, safety, cache all create large $ swings)
