REAL ESTATE NEWS IN SAN FRANCISCO
How wildfires are affecting SF Real Estate
Wildfires are increasing in frequency, intensity, and destructiveness. Despite the terrible fires, SF had a very active month in listings going into contract in the past month, hitting a high point for the year and matching the high points of recent years. Surprisingly, the fires did not significantly impact the number of deals being made in most Bay Area counties - the exceptions being Santa Cruz, Sonoma, Monterey and Napa Counties, which saw declines. The number of active listings on the SF market has risen dramatically over the last few months, outpacing the increase in listings going into contract. However, there are significant differences between the house and condo markets. With the increase in inventory has come a big jump in the number of listings reducing asking price. In some market segments, sellers are now competing for buyers, instead of buyers competing for listings.

-
Ease of Use - There are a variety of apps you can use for virtual staging. These apps often offer a user-friendly interface.
-
Cost-effective - Even if you go with a premium virtual staging service including 3D tours, you'll likely be able to stage multiple rooms for the price of one.
-
Flexibility - You don't need to stage an entire home to get the benefits of virtual staging. You can select which rooms you'd like to highlight in an online listing.
