Condo Features:
30 Nido is a gracious and inviting late Art Deco Condo located in Anza Vista – in the heart of San Francisco. Anza Vista is an exclusive mid-Century neighborhood located at the intersection of Laurel Village, NOPA, Lower Pacific Heights and Lone Mountain. With a Walkscore of 94, you will really enjoy the convenience of being near Trader Joe’s, movie theaters, transit and, perhaps in the future, a Target.
The oak floors and wood-burning fireplace make create a cozy feeling while floor to ceiling windows provide plenty of light. The dining room is fitted with a home office/homework wall that makes it easy to be together while getting it all done.
Built in the time when big cars ruled the road (think 1948 DeSoto), this condo is all about space. The master bedroom is over-sized at 14×19 feet and there is a huge garage with one car interior parking + room for one more “fin car” (or Prius) in the driveway. In addition, there are walk-in closets through out the home – entry, kitchen, both bedrooms. If your mid-century furniture collection is looking for a place to call home it won’t get any better than this!

This is a look at what’s going on in the housing market from a different angle – lender mortgage applications — than our usual market statistics:
AP Article: “Reports point to recovering housing market”
“Earnings reports from two major banks Friday painted a picture of a healing housing market, with more Americans taking out mortgages, paying them on time and taking advantage of low interest rates to refinance.
At JPMorgan Chase, the biggest bank in the United States, income from new home loans set a record from January through March. The bank issued 6 percent more mortgages than a year ago and got 33 percent more applications.
Wells Fargo, which issues the most home loans, booked the most mortgage fees since 2009. It issued 54 percent more mortgages than a year ago and took 84 percent more applications.”
