Builders have been trying to redefine the high end in the Tree Section, seeking $3.0m-$3.5m or thereabouts for larger new homes. Some have gotten it, others haven't.
Since May, we've seen 4 new homes close over $3m in the Trees:
- 925 27th (5br/6ba, 4150 sq. ft.) – $3.0m (-$250k/-8%)
- 2802 Pine (5br/4ba, 4600 sq.…

- 2802 Pine (5br/4ba, 4600 sq. ft.) – $3.1m (never listed on MLS)
- 927 27th (5br/6ba, 4400 sq. ft.) – $3.15m (-$135/-4%)
- 712 31st (5br/4ba, 3800 sq. ft.) – $3.325m (-$74k/-2%)
We're also hearing that a new one at
2603 Laurel is in escrow at $3.75m or so.
Nine more homes have been listed since March at $3m+, 6 of them new construction.

Now one of the ceiling-pushers has made a big cut.
At
570 27th, a new Schaar home across from Ladera School, the price began at
$3.899m on March 14. It has lingered most of the time since (175 DOM) at
$3.75m. Now, along with a bogus re-list, the new price is
$3.299m, or
$600k lower than the start.
Suddenly, instead of being the most expensive new construction on the market, 27th is cheaper than three new ones and aligned closely with another at $3.295m.
That may give this listing a chance. Another thing that would help would be some new photos. (
