With a median sale price of $2,900,000, Presidio Heights<\/strong> was the most expensive neighborhood in San Francisco County in 2009. Fifty homes sold for over $1,000,000 in the neighborhood, increasing the median sale price by\u00a0 58% over the 2008 median sale price of $1,830,000.<\/p>\n

3855 Washington Street<\/a> was the most expensive home to be sold in the neighborhood. This property, listed by Sotheby’s, has its own website<\/a> and has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation prior to its listing, according to SocketSite.com<\/a>. It hit the market with an asking price of $8,000,000 and was sold for $8,100,000 in November 2009.<\/p>\n

Sea Cliff,<\/strong> the most expensive San Francisco neighborhood in 2008, had a median sale price of $1,800,000 in 2009 compared to its 2008 value of $2,680,000. However, it boasted the most expensive sale in San Francisco County for 2009.<\/p>\n

300 Sea Cliff Avenue sold for $18,000,000 in September 2009, 59 months (!) after it first hit the market with an asking price of $23,500,000, according to SocketSite.com<\/a>. There’s been much speculation about the true buyer of the property, which property records<\/a> show to be Tawaraya LLC\u00a0 while other media sources have indicated Tom Cruise ( Curbed San Francisco<\/a>)\u00a0 or Oracle CEO Larry Ellison (The Real Estalker<\/a>).<\/p>\n

St. Francis Woods<\/strong> was the third most expensive neighborhood, with a median sale price of $1,605,000.\u00a0 The median sale price rose 10% from the previous year ($1,458,500), but the number of sold homes slid from 36 in 2008 to 23 in 2009.<\/p>\n

The most expensive sale in the neighborhood was well below the highest prices paid in Sea Cliff and Presidio Heights. 120 Santa Ana Avenue<\/a> was sold for $2,760,000 on 9\/10\/2009, becoming the most expensive sale in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Although the neighborhood was not present among the top San Francisco neighborhoods by median sale price, Pacific Heights<\/strong> had its share of glory, having the second most expensive sale in San Francisco County in 2009.<\/p>\n

2510 Jackson Heights<\/a> was the second most expensive home sold in 2009 in San Francisco County. The property was foreclosed upon in April 2008 and bought by Robertson Stephens Inc. for $6,100,000, our property records show. It hit the market with an asking price of $14,900,000 and sold for $11,500,000 in July 2009, resulting in a $5,400,000 gain for Robertson Stephens Inc.\u00a0 SocketSite.com<\/a> and San Francisco Gate<\/a> have more on the story.<\/p>\n
