San Francisco Home Market Update

Market Statistics

Despite the constant news of dramatic changes in the real estate market – Values soar! Values crashing! Market up or down ___% from last month! Double dip recession! – the home market in San Francisco has exhibited a remarkable stability over the past year. As shown in the charts below, median prices for both houses and condos are virtually unchanged from one year ago; buyer demand remains steady; months’ supply of inventory remains steady; foreclosure sales are stable; low interest rates continue. Statistics jump around within a relatively narrow percentage band: there has certainly been no definitive trend up or down. It is neither a crazy buyers’ market nor a crazy sellers’ market: it’s a relatively healthy, balanced market, where the basic rules of realestate generally apply: well-priced, well-prepared, well-marketed homes typically sell quickly and homes without those characteristics don’t.

San Francisco Real Estate: June 2010 Update

SF Homes Accepting Offers
The market cooled in May after the frantic rush to get offers accepted before April 30th so as to qualify for both the expiring Federal tax credit & the new California tax credit. That rush inflated April’s results and deflated May’s, but May 2010 was still 9% above May 2009. Last year, the market did not slow appreciably — as is typical — during the summer months. We’ll see what happens in the summer of 2010.

Inventory Absorption
This chart reflects a market that is cooling a little from the frenzy of April: both accepted offers and new listings are down a little; and residual inventory is up a little (but still lower than most of the past year). Residual inventory reflects listings that were active (available) on the last day of the month, but listed prior to the first day of the same month, i.e. listings from prior months that have not yet accepted offers.
