IT’S MORE THAN A HOME IT’S YOUR LIFE

CRISSY FIELD | 3:17 PM

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO 2015 can only be described as a milestone year for San Francisco real estate. With unprecedented demand driving home sales, we saw record prices throughout the city. In particular, condominium and new construction sales led the way. For the first time in San Francisco history, the cost per foot of condominiums outpaced single-family homes. Single-family homes were up 14% in 2015; condos and lofts up roughly 12%. Inventory is down to less than one month for both single-family homes and condominiums.

While there were many achievements and new records in the local market, Climb Real Estate also celebrated many milestones. We are now over 100 agents in 5 offices. We are now consistently ranked one of the top brokerages in the city. Our website is nationally acclaimed. We launched Climb Labs in the summer in our new Mid-Market space, which offers real estate’s most innovative think tank. We launched our first new development project, Sapphire, in SOMA. Our Jack London Square office in the East Bay is now our fastest-growing market segment.

This past year, TV viewers nationally were introduced to the Climb brand when Million Dollar Listing aired on Bravo. Climb consistently represents properties over $3M, from Sea Cliff to Los Altos, Pacific Heights to Napa. Climb is no longer SOMA and South Beach, we are prepared to serve your real estate needs anywhere in the greater Bay Area.

Our tag line is “It’s More Than A Home. It’s Your Life,” and we demonstrated this in our community outreach including food and clothing drives, the AIDS Lifecycle Ride, Aim High, and numerous volunteer events. We do not just sell our communities’ real estate, we actively participate in those communities.

While Climb Real Estate continues to expand its reach in the greater Bay Area, our utmost goal is to serve buyers and sellers with integrity, professionalism, and superior market knowledge. Our talented salespeople are available to you to answer questions about the micro-trends within our marketplace.

Here’s to another great year in San Francisco real estate.

Sincerely,

Chris Lim

District 1 resides in the northwest quadrant of San Francisco, stretching from near USF to the ocean. It is often regarded as a heavily residential neighborhood with a mix of desirable single-family homes and multi-tenant buildings enhanced by stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, and Pacific Ocean.

District 2 resides in the southwest quadrant of San Francisco, stretching from near the Parnassus campus of UCSF to the ocean. Often called “the Avenues,” it is predominantly a mix of smaller detached single-family homes that were constructed in the 1920’s, first by Henry Doelger and later by Oliver Rousseau. With a steady turnover in inventory, we see many home buyers taking advantage here of some of the best priced single-family homes in the city.

District 8 resides in the northeast quadrant of San Francisco and contains some of the oldest real estate in San Francisco, housing city icons like Coit Tower and the Transamerica building. Here we see a varied degree of housing stock, from earthquake cottages to single-family homes, multi-tenant buildings, condos, stock co-operatives, and large apartment buildings. With more technology companies now in the Financial District, accessibility to downtown will continue to create strong demand for properties in this area.

District 9 resides in the southeast quadrant of San Francisco, stretching from south of downtown along the Bay down to an area that was previously undeveloped. What was traditionally warehouses and industrial land has developed into some of the city’s most desirable real estate with a mix of luxury high-rises, live/work loft conversions, and mid-rise projects nestled alongside existing Victorian and mixed-use buildings. Further up the hill are some amazing single-family homes. We see the increase of commerce and services, such as UCSF’s Children’s Hospital, as having a positive impact on values in Mission Bay and the Dogpatch.
