Seller: Make an offer before this one disappears 
Buyer: So this is a one-bedroom, one bath, right?
Seller: yes. pool in the complex. newly remodeled
Buyer: $1395 -- basically $1400 -- is pretty steep for a one-bedroom, without washer or dryer in-apartment. Coin laundry has a tendency to add up. I've paid $1000 for a one-bedroom in San Francisco, on Nob Hill. I'm pretty sure I could find a two- or three-bedroom for $1400. But, I like the granite kitchen. And the pool is a good perk.
Seller: Nob Hill isn't very desirable. This one is located near shops, and a bus stop,. it will give you all the convenience you seek. So you need to pay a bit more for that 
Buyer: I mean. Nob Hill is right in the middle of town. There was a great bodega right across the street; the BART was a ten-minute walk away. I can go for $1200 on this, all things considered. The perks do push it up a bit.
Seller: tell you what. sign a one year lease and i'll let you have it for 1250 a month
Buyer: That sounds doable. Let's call it a deal!
