These San Francisco houses bought for lower than $1M in November
Six-figure homes in San Francisco are an ultra-rare commodity, as our monthly perusal through Zillow listings has repeatedly proved. In November 2022, at least 11 properties sold for less than $1 million; as far as the world’s eighth-most expensive city is concerned, that’s actually (sadly) a solid number.
What does a home in the high hundreds of thousands of dollars actually get you, though? Usually, a few bedrooms, one bath (sometimes two) and, if you’re lucky, some refurbished interior space.
Below, check out our November Zillow findings, including a Potrero Hill steal, and some deeply depressing reality checks about how much these same properties went for in recent decades.
2034 19th Ave.
Neighborhood: Sunset District
Sold for: $905,000
The listing describes this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home as “livable but ready for a makeover.” If that doesn’t quite entice you, the bay windows on both floors and the fairly ample kitchen counter space might.

1998 25th St
Neighborhood: Potrero Hill
Sold for: $850,000
This semi-attached corner lot has five bedrooms and two baths across a surprisingly robust 2,285 square feet. It has a basement storage area, plus a studio/workshop lower level, a main level with a patio attachment and two (tiny) bedrooms on the top floor. Hard to find many San Francisco homes under seven figures with this much space.

955 Goettingen St.
Neighborhood: Portola

448 Holladay Ave.
Neighborhood: Bernal Heights
Sold for: $900,000
There’s lots of work to be done at this property, which is marketed as a “contractor special” that could turn into either a five-bedroom, three-bathroom home or a triplex for an aspiring landlord. For now, there’s not much to speak of interior-wise.

1635 Kirkwood Ave.
Neighborhood: bay view
Sold for: $949,000
This Victorian-style home, originally constructed in 1907, is a decently sized 1,871 square feet, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It sold for the exact asking price.

178 Sadowa St.
Neighborhood: ocean view
Sold for: $938,000
It’s impossible to miss this brightly colored two-story property: a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home with refinished hardwood floors and an updated kitchen. For comparison’s sake, according to Zillow, 178 Sadowa St. sold in 1994 for $225,000. Small difference.

There isn’t much information available about this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home, save for another annoying blast from the past: In 2007, 3859 San Bruno Ave. sold for $530,000.

Sold for: $825,000
