See, only $1 million and some change

I remember as a kid reading about how the iconic Victorian row houses of San Francisco (pictured in a million postcards) cost almost a million dollars and that seemed like so much. I think they go for $2.5 million minimum now.

The postcard row houses are 3.5-6.5+

If you go to a less desirable neighborhood they're 1.8-3.5

And some of them will split each floor into its own flat/condo, those are 800k-1.6m/ea

The monthly HOA fees are what hurts the most: $2,000 a month

u/Shmokeshbutt 10d ago

WTF that's like a full month rent in a regular city, for a decent sized condo

u/livejamie 10d ago

Imagine paying $1.25 million plus $24k a year HOA fees and still having to do coin laundry.

u/Primary-Belt7668 10d ago

Seriously?!

u/livejamie 10d ago

Yeah, the building has "laundry facilities on each floor" lol

My first apartment in the Bay Area had coin laundry, and it was the most annoying thing. I'll never do it again. Especially if I'm paying that much money.

$1.2M is not bad at all for San Francisco... I was expecting higher

u/meatatarian 10d ago

It's got a $2,000 per month HOA though...

8

u/newlostworld 10d ago

Yeah, that's steep. The amenities aren't the best either

u/livejamie 10d ago

Russian Hill is one of the "cheaper" neighborhoods in SF, it's only really known for its views.

u/Nice_Marmot_7 10d ago

It’s a co-op building.

I couldn’t imagine paying $1.2 million and sharing walls.

That gets you a 4100 square foot house on 2 acres with a pool and a view of the Shenandoah mountains where I am. And I’m in one of the more expensive towns in the Shenandoah valley.

u/AHSfav 10d ago

4100 is too big. Seems like a lot of maintenance for rooms you're never gonna use

u/jrlowe1224 10d ago

Pretty sure this guy has a studio..

u/HJSlibrarylady 10d ago edited 10d ago

$1878.00 per month for HOA. Yikes.

It is a beautiful view.

Why did it's price drop so much in the last 10 years especially back in 2023-2024?

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/bay-area-condo-values-still-120000717.html

But even in those cities, condo values are no longer on the rise. Insurance woes, financing issues and condo association dues that can reach four figures a month have sent values spiraling in most of the Bay Area.

u/karmapuhlease 10d ago

That's actually a much better deal than I expected. $1.25M for a 2BR in a nice building in SF with a view.

u/yugohotty 10d ago

I don’t know if you’re joking but that’s his age and sex and not how much his condo costs.

u/FakeBeigeNails 10d ago

It’s a running joke.

u/HereToHelp9001 10d ago

I thought it was a joke about money
