Bob Myers, the ESPN analyst and former general manager of the Golden State Warriors, has sold his Presidio Heights home for $12.6 million, according to public records showing a closing date of March 14.
Myers and wife Kristen bought the 6,300-square-foot six-bedroom, four-bath and two half-bath home at 200 Laurel Street in April 2016 for $10.275 million, more than $1 million over its $9 million asking price, according to property records and listing notes from the time.
The turn-of-the-century Queen Anne Victorian had been renovated by the previous owners shortly before they sold to the Myers, but it still maintains “timeless architectural elegance” with “soaring ceilings, intricate millwork” and grand public rooms, according to the listing notes from Sotheby’s International agent Janet Schindler.
Schindler declined to comment on the sale, citing a non-disclosure agreement. She listed the home for $12.9 million on January 22 and it was in contract on February 21, according to Redfin.
Myers, who grew up in the Bay Area, was the GM for the Warriors from 2012 to 2023, during a stretch in which the team won four NBA championships and he was twice voted NBA Executive of the Year. He was also the Warriors’ President of Basketball Operations for the last seven years of his tenure.
When he stepped down, he told ESPN, “It’s just time.” ESPN announced he would be joining its “NBA Countdown” pre-game show as an analyst later that year, a role he served again during the 2024-2025 basketball season. Last year he also became a consultant for the NFL’s Washington Commanders.
The buyer was Mapache Listo LLC, which was represented by Tyler Stewart of Heath Real Estate.
Stewart declined to name her clients, citing security and privacy concerns, but said that they already had a home in Presidio Heights and a very narrow area that they were looking at for a larger home amid extremely limited inventory.
“In this specific location, which is essentially a four-block radius, you get maybe one house a year,” she said. “So when those houses come up, it is obviously a very lovely home, but it’s really location driven.”
The buyers also liked that the property is located on a corner lot and has big windows to let in a lot of light, Stewart said. Even though the last renovation took place ten years ago, she said they weren’t planning on doing work. There was competition on the home, she said, but ending up at a price of $2,000 per square foot is “average for this sort of home in this location, so I think they felt really good about that.”
Though this house sold quickly at near asking, Tyler said there’s been “a little bit of turbulence” in the market this spring because of the uncertainty in the national geopolitical and economic situation. Buyers are out there, but are also a lot pickier than they were during the height of the pandemic market in 2021 when “if it had an address, it sold.” That means she’s written offers for hundreds of thousands over the asking price on homes that had eight offers on them this spring, while other properties are just sitting.
“I can’t say that there’s a steady trend going on right now,” she said. “It seems to be way more property-specific.”
