If there is one segment of the San Francisco housing market that has changed or softened in the ‘08, its gotta be the loft market. In years past, developers couldn’t build them fast enough and edgy buyers were pit against each other as they tried to snatch up the hippest, coolest, biggest box they could find and they were willing to pay top dollar for them. Things have changed as lofts sit on the market for longer periods of time (average days on market is 58 so far this year) and there have been fewer transactions (compared to this time last year). There are always exceptions to the rules and 75 Lansing #3 is a perfect example. Personally, one of my favorite lofts in the city, this unit was purchased in April 2006 for $2.8mm. I’m not aware of any major upgrades since the last sale, but the loft changed hands again last week for $3.5mm
