What’s New in San Francisco Real Estate
Analytics and charts from Compass
While market and economic dynamics this year have been a mixed bag, sales activity and home prices have recovered this spring, but remain markedly lower than the market peak in the spring of 2022. Market conditions in the city vary most by property type, with houses continuing to see greater demand, and neighborhood, with the downtown market remaining weaker. The spring market is traditionally the most active and we are seeing a rebound in buyer activity, hopefully a positive sign leading up the fall market.

Sales Over List Price
Houses continue to sell well above list price and condos slightly below. In June, 70% of houses sold over list while 37% of condos, co-ops and TICs sold over list.
Average Days on Market
Houses continue to have significantly lower days of market averages compared to condos, but both are steadily decreasing, reflecting the lower inventory and increasing buyer demand.
Mortgage Interest Rate Trends
With persistent inflation and the economy holding steady, mortgage rates recently increased to their highest rate this year so far. As of July 13, the weekly average 30-year interest rate was 6.96%. But with the June inflation report indicating a decrease in the CPI, daily average rates for 30-year fixed-rate loans immediately dropped nearly a quarter point.
