The Golden Gate Festival is the center point of the Bridge’s year-long 75th anniversary program. With the theme of “Bridging Us All,” the free community event seeks to honor this amazing landmark in a way that reflects the ingenuity, inclusiveness and creativity of the entire San Francisco Bay Area.
The festival will offer thousands of people the opportunity to reflect on the beauty of the Bridge, learn about its history and be inspired through music, dance, entertainment, art and exhibits.

I updated the Short-term Median Sales Price chart through the first half of May – it stayed steady after the huge jump in April. This chart is available online here: http://www.paragon-re.com/Docs/General/SixtyFortyImages/Median-Prices_Short-Term.jpg. If you notice that on the chart Julian published, the April median showed as $750,000 instead of $745,000 below, this is simply because sales reported late to MLS for the month of April slightly adjusted the final figure.
Responding to requests, the Google IPO Effect chart (sent out last night, and again here below) is online here: http://www.paragon-re.com/Docs/General/SixtyFortyImages/Google-IPO-Effect.jpg
And here are two charts tracking supply and demand for houses and condos in San Francisco, by week, for the past 6 months, through 5/13/12:
Units for Sale: Inventory continues to drop in the face of enormous demand. We’re running about 50% below last year at this time. This chart is online: http://www.paragon-re.com/Docs/General/SixtyFortyImages/5-13-12_SFD-Condo_Units_FS.jpg
Percentage of Units Accepting Offers (in a given week): Keeps on climbing. This chart is online: http://www.paragon-re.com/Docs/General/SixtyFortyImages/5-13-12_SFD-Condo_Units_UC.jpg. In previous years, before the market started to heat up again, the percentage typically ran 4% – 6% per week. Now, we’re up to 14% to 17%.

The 100-year old Bay to Breakers 12k is one of the world’s largest and oldest footraces, held annually in San Francisco, California. The name reflects the traditional course which takes tens of thousands of participants from the northeast end of the downtown area near The Embarcadero (the “bay” side of the city) to the west end of the city and the “breakers” of Ocean Beach. The 7.46 mile (12 kilometer) race features world-class athletes in addition to costumed runners and ‘fun-loving’ folks out for a great day of running and walking through San Francisco.

I find myself on a train for the first time in a long time- and it turns out it is national train day. Cool.
I like it. I am not driving on I-80, which I hate. I am writing this and then I am going to return to reading my book, “The Table Comes First: France, Family and the Meaning of Food.” It is making me hungry. I might have to GET UP AND WALK to the dining car. So cool.
Late breaking update: a client just called and wants to write an offer. I can do that too on the train using the WIFI. Love it!

The New York Times “Slidshow” feature online recently mentioned our little hood – NOPA. Though they credit Realtors with coining the name quite incorrectly – one prominent Realtor insisted on calling it Panhandle North until recently – it’s a nice little nod to the area we call home. Take a look!.
