Yes, The St. Francis Yacht Club under the direction of member "John Gomes" is conducting the first ever "KiteBoarding Championships"...
It is a historic event in the sailing world and will be referenced in years to come, so if you have a few minutes wander down to Crissy Field or the Marina Green and watch history in the making.
Here is a link to the yacht clubs website: http://www.StFYC.com if you'd like to check it out online.
And I believe that the Chronicles website has a few pics as well. (www.SFGate.com)
A little fun this weekend with the serious stuff coming next week....more on that later.
As always, if you need more info email me at: kenglide@gmail.com
Ciao!!
In two weeks I will be attending the annual "Real Estate Connect San Francisco 2007" conference.
This annual pilgrimage of 'real estate technologists' has grown in attendance due to the changing climate around real estate technology offerings.
Many of you already know that I have positioned myself as real estate expert but also a real estate technologist in every way. Currently I am testing three (3) new applications that provide a better user (buyer/seller) experience utilizing the latest technologies applied to the real estate industry.
And my clients have responded. I am winning more listings and have a better web presence than a majority of my peers.
If there is such a thing as "open source" for real estate information I would support that philosophy. Because I have found that the Bay Area clientel are very sophisticated and conduct a vast amount of due diligence. That is precisely the client I seek.
So if you would like a review of the show please contact me between the 8th and 15th of August for a complete update. I can't wait!!

From time to time, I like to run around the perimeter of the home sales market and today I thought it would be appropriate.
My industry insiders are indicating that the San Francisco rental market is tightening up. Asking rents are creeping up on current vacancies and with the coming seasonal influx of new renters these new rates may stick for the coming year or so.
Coupled with the lower inventory and rising rental rates may make economic sense for the border line renter / homeowner to justify buying rather than renting. Watch the buy rate at some of these new SOMA, South Beach & Central Waterfront projects.
