I get asked ALL the time what effect the Facebook IPO is going to have on real estate in San Francisco. I’m usually circumspect because the truth is FB stock has been for sale for years on the secondary market, but it will have some impact no doubt. How much…we’re soon to find out.

It isn’t only the Golden Gate Bridge that is celebrating their 75th anniversary! The Stern Grove Festival’s free music in the parkis also turning 75 this year and has lots of great, free music to come and enjoy.
The celebration kicks off with a special event on June 24th:
11:30 a.m. – The Big Picnic Party
A private catered fundraising event in the West Meadow benefiting Stern Grove Festival. Tickets for The Big Picnic Party are available here. Tickets include reserved seating at the concert.

And as always, remember that the weather is variable, so bring layers and sunscreen!
The San Francisco Chronicle had a great article about some of the upcoming home tours and I had heard about most of them.

You get a choice of which collection to visit and even an invite to a party afterwards.
Or perhaps you’d like to check out the San Francisco Decorator Showcase or the Marin Living Home Tour or Dwell Home Tour or one of so many others!

* Conversely, there are 23% more men in SoMa, 16% more in the Castro, and 14% more in the Financial District;- What happens in Soma has a 17% chance of staying in Soma.
- Where do Iphone users, and Android users hang out

* …but on weekend nights it’s all about the parties: the Mission, the Marina, Downtown, the Castro, and Western Addition. Read more:
(So ladies if you’re looking for a straight man in this city, you’re odds increase in Soma. Men let’s face it you can go anywhere in this city and have high odds as a straight guy).
