[one_half][dropcap style=”font-size: 60px; color: #9b9b9b;”] T [/dropcap]ake a look at how us realtors organize the City on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) – which is the most used industry-standard clearinghouse where current properties for sale are listed and where past sales information is retained. It’s the closest thing we have to a complete free market we have in real estate. Some places like New York for example, has no MLS — it could be worse. [/one_half]
[one_half_last]Ten large geographic ‘districts‘ comprise the MLS Districts; within each are a number of smaller subdistricts. So, when we speak of “District 9” we’re referring to SoMa, the Inner Mission and South Beach among others. And when we say “5J”, we’re talking Duboce Triangle only. Keep mind these districts are different than city supervisor ones. All the districts have their own character, Districts 1 and 2 tend to be foggier as they’re closer to the ocean and Districts 5, 6 and 9 tend to be the sunnier ones in the City for example.
