ASK KELLY QUESTIONS!
Q: What price should I list my house for? - L.R.

A: Determining the right asking price for your home is an important discussion and is a topic rife with misconceptions. Ultimately the selling price of your home depends on what a buyer will pay for it. Therefore, a price analysis must always consider the buyer's perspective. Buyers care about the market and how your home compares to other available homes. The bottom line is you definitely don't want to overprice your home. Homes that are priced too high sit on the market longer and are more susceptible to lower offers. Weโ€™re here to help you price it right โ€“ get a comparative market analysis today. Click Here.๐Ÿ‘ˆ
HOTTEST RESTAURANTS
NOTEWORTHY RESTAURANTS IN THE BAY AREA
Hi Felicia

The cheekily named, Hi Felicia, is an East Bay original. Run by a 25-year-old Black chef, the semi-secret supper club is set all outdoors perched in the Oakland hills. Heads up: The chef loves her food spicy, and specialties include a padrรณn pepper with olive oil, salt, chile oil, and Sichuan spices, and a lamb enchilada with cherries, cherry tomatoes, and pickled habanero crema.
State Street Market

The contemporary food hall started in dense urban centers, but itโ€™s a concept quickly spreading to the suburbs. The latest example is the 20,000 sqft State Street Market, which is set to bring several restaurant concepts and nearly a dozen smaller food vendors to Los Altos on the Peninsula. Among the acclaimed chefs launching projects, there are Traci Des Jardins, Srijith Gopinathan, and Meichih, and Michael Kim.
SF HISTORY
A BITE-SIZE HISTORY OF SAN FRANCISCO
Sourdough bread traces its origins to ancient Egypt and is common in parts of Europe. Itโ€™s now a staple around the world, but sourdough bread first arose out of San Francisco during Gold Rush times when miners would bake it using natural leavening. Gold miners valued it for their camps because of its durability, and the relative ease of obtaining yeast.
