Is the red-hot San Francisco real estate market cooling off?  We have no idea. But if a few of the priciest properties we've mentioned in recent months are any indication, the fever may have finally broken.

Let's take a look.

First, let's talk about the blue beauty that previously housed the Vapor Room at 605-611 Haight

Back in January, we reported that the 1890-era building had been put on the market. Consisting of four residential units, the ground floor commercial space, and a four-car garage, the whole shebang was listed for $3,250,000.

After a few months, the property finally went off the market on April 4th, selling for just under the asking price at $3,200,000.



Next up, there's 39 Lloyd Street.

In May of this year, a reader vented to us about this 4-bedroom property near Duboce Park, which at the time had been listed for the eye-popping sum of $4,695,000.  

Well, our tipster might have been onto something. As Socketsite notes, this home is still on the market, and has recently seen a drastic price cut. It's now being offered for $3,995,000, a reduction of 15%.

Finally, we have 871 Page.

In April, we noted that this unique property, known as the Long Distance Telephone Building, had hit the market for $2,995,000. This one lingered unclaimed for several months, but was finally scooped up on August 28th. The purchase price? $2,913,000.

So, three noteworthy properties, two of which sold for under their asking prices, and one that has seen a serious price chop. Does this mean the real estate bubble is finally bursting? Probably not. But, our dim hopes of ever owning property in the neighborhood just got a tiny bit brighter.
