The tiny home at 31 Romain St. is one of the city's remaining earthquake cottages, or shacks, built after the 1906 earthquake. It's asking $2.5 million.

Rose said the listing has been an attraction for people, some merely out of curiosity — a home listing stamped with an"earthquake cottage" label will likely grab attention.But Rose said she doesn't think that that label specifically makes the home, or other existing earthquake shacks like it, a hot commodity in the city's real estate market.

Rose said in general, people will seek out properties that have a more"classic San Francisco look," like from the Edwardian or Victorian design eras, more often than they will hunt down newly-constructed buildings.But what buyers find unattractive about those kinds of listings are the outdated features, like electrical and plumbing systems, that are more indicative of the early 1900s rather than the new millennium.
