Want to spend the weekend touring the best of San Francisco's on-the-market real estate? We recommend these five open houses: two classic San Francisco condominiums on the edge of Nob Hill -- from the days when it was the place to live -- and three in SOMA, one a suite in the St. Regis that's a short sale plus a pair of lofts in vintage warehouse renovations.

Check them out in the slideshow below:

Hard to believe, this high-design condominium unit in the St. Regis tower is a short sale -- meaning the bank will have to approve the purchase price. And in a high-security building full of Chinese millionaires and former VP Al Gore, we're surprised there's a public open house. The 2-bed, 2.5-bath unit was renovated to include a glass wall that darkens for privacy. HOAs are $2109 a month plus valet parking at $235. There's also a spa, gym, pool, and hotel services, and side from having SFMOMA as a neighbor, we're in love with the concept of room service. Open Saturday, Feb. 11 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 12, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Some of those HOA fees are insane. It's like owning and renting at the same time.

I wonder if the new owners of the Powel st digs will require their servants to pay for the coin operated laundry out of their own salary.

Is that first one supposed to be humorous 80s retro? They forgot the calla lilies.

I take your point, but the actual 1% make at least $1.5 mil a year - and pay cash for their houses. They aren't buying places in this price range or these neighborhoods at all. Some were even under a million bucks...which to you and me is probably a lot, but it's nothing to someone making $300K a year to pay a mortgage on, and that's not an atypical salary in the
Bay Area..

it's atypical outside of the hamptons and presidio terrace, can the top 20% of the US fill every small flat or warehouse conversion condo in SF? It weird how impervious the city is to the housing bubble, commercial landlords will keep properties vacant for years in hopes of some loaded sucker to come along and pay the over inflated prices
