Originally sold for $598,000 back in 2007, this 1-bed, 1-bath 694 square foot unit at the Palms just keeps taking chop after chop. Imagine that, folks. You buy a condo and then can’t sell it a few years later for $153,000 less. Seriously, try to imagine that. The unit comes with a monthly HOA fee of $469.82 that goes towards funding amenities like a 24-hour door staff, concierge, security, freakin’ yoga studio, etc, etc. Oh, and a “Lounge Room.” This listing is just another sad example of our failing high-end residential condo lovin’ market. What do we think? Will it take another chop? Or will someone finally bite?

Curbed SF would like to give a shout out to Vivian Heinzel from San Carlos. Over the weekend she was announced as the winner of the San Francisco Dream House Raffle that benefited the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Congrats, Vivian! You had to choose between a $2,400,000 Edwardian home just “steps from Golden Gate Park” or $1.8 in cold hard cash. We hope you took the cash! [Curbed Inbox]
