PriceSpotter Reveal: Pac Heights Mystery Solved

PriceSpotter is Curbed's asking price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. Wednesday reveal. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

Wall-to-wall wood flooring and ceiling-to-floor wood walling doesn't come cheap — especially when looking at condos in Pac Heights. The 2-bedroom, 2-story condo at 2170 Pacific Avenuemeasures a more-than-generous 3,895 square feet, while a ibrary, music room, and well furnished kitchen round out the mystery novel decor— enough to inspire a drawing room murder (or a simple game of Clue). Guesses came in on the low-side this week, with Mr. Shibi taking home the prize at $3 million. Actual price: $3,250,000.

Price Spotter: Erotic Services in Media Gulch

PriceSpotter is Curbed's asking price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. Wednesday reveal. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

It has come to our attention that some of you have a rather, shall we say, curious attachment to the Price Spotter feature; take the jump for comment exchange worthy of Craigslist's "erotic services" page (Sparky and Runner's High, you two are so going blind.) Before you hit the booth, however, allow us to offer a little extra smut for your peeping pleasure. Meet our best boy, 725 Florida Street #5. (Have some sympathy here, if you know what we mean.)

· 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms;
· 1,700 square foot, three-level "luxury loft in the heart of San Francisco's Media Gulch"
· Buddy Rhodes designer gourmet kitchen; motorized window shades; handy "dramatic glass wall."

PriceSpotter Reveal: A Proper Marina Town Home

PriceSpotter is Curbed's asking price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. Wednesday reveal. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

Who in San Francisco isn't looking for "3 levels of immaculate contemporary living" — especially in the Marina? With polo collars popped and Red Bull & vodkas in hand, Curbed readers made a fine showing in this week's PriceSpotter, 1734 Lombard Street #6, a 1,591 sq ft, top floor condo in the oft-stereotyped nabe. (Guilty as charged!) Guesses fell within a range of $1.75 million and $1.35 million. With an early—dare we say a trendsetting—guess, Curbed reader Sparky snagged this week's PriceSpotter non-prize with a guess of $1,395,000. Asking price: $1,399,000.

PriceSpotter: A Proper Marina Town Home

PriceSpotter is Curbed's asking price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. Wednesday reveal. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

This week, our PriceSpotter subject is 1734 Lombard St. #6,, a so-called town home style condo in the Marina. We're guessing that "town home" in this case just means multi-level. The breakdown:

· 3 bedroom, 3 baths including "master suite with jet tub"
· 1,591 square foot, top-floor condo
· "3 levels of immaculate contemporary living."
· Below: 1 Car Parking. Above: Deeded roof deck.

PriceSpotter Reveal: Low Balling at 1834 Golden Gate Avenue

PriceSpotter is Curbed's asking price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. Wednesday reveal. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

In only a couple short years, NoPa has gone from laughable real estate buzz word to Divisadero restaurant, to fully accepted, desirable neighborhood complete with its own "halo effect," as one reader put it. It looks like that halo effect has yet to reach this week's PriceSpotter, a four bedroom, 2.25 bath, 2,012 square foot top-floor unit at 1834 Golden Gate Avenue. If your guesses are any sign, we've got another deal on our hands here— most of you stayed in the lower-million range, with the highest clocking in at $1.425 million and the lowest at $900,000. Actual listing price? $989,000. A Castro Condo or a Town in Kansas takes home this week's prize with a guess of $999,999.99. As for that ".25" bath— readers reached no true consensus, but we're thinking bidet.

PriceSpotter: Top Down at Golden Gate Avenue

PriceSpotter is Curbed's asking price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. Wednesday reveal. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

This week PriceSpotter subject is 1834 Golden Gate Ave, delicately placed in that nether-realm between NoPa and the Western Addition.

· 4 bedroom, 2.25 baths (2.25?!?)
· 2,012 square foot, top-floor unit
· deeded roof deck
· original 1913 detailing
· "XQZT! Totally detached, Light-filled"

Price estimates, and geographic haggling go in the comments. Also, we'd love to hear any opinions on what a .25 bath entails.

PriceSpotter Reveal: Pricin' the Pigskin in Bayview

PriceSpotter is Curbed's price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

2008_06_810-LeConte.jpgThis week bore witness to our favorite PriceSpotting rarity: high estimates, across the board. On the surface, 810 Le Conte is a well-finished and spacious single family home with a few endearing peculiarities — a living room filled with doric columns, anyone? Some readers found it less than endearing: "Horror Show," "hideous," and "delusions of grandeur" were bandied about in the comment box. On the plus side for those who like to toss the pigskin from time to time, it's close to Candlestick Park (until 2012, at least). Closest guess: Curbed SF reader Sparky at $829,000. Actual price: $649,000. So what made this week's challenge so difficult? Its Bayview location, we're guessing. As Sparky said, it really is "a tough nabe for the pricin'."

PriceSpotter: Get Ready, Sports Fans

PriceSpotter is Curbed's price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from an apartment listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. Wednesday. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!

Today's PriceSpotter is 810 Le Conte Avenue, a single family Bayview home offering a courtyard, balconies, views, and a primo pre-tailgate spot for football season — unless the 49ers up and leave. But we digress. Guesses in the comments.

· 4 bedroom / 3 bath
· 1,737 sq ft
· Candlestick Park in the backyard!
· Le Conte: "a quiet and pleasant street with newer homes."
