San Francisco
The Year of the House carries over to 2021
The all-time high median sales price for a house in San Francisco was $1.780 in Feb 2018. In March 2021, we were nearly there at $1.748M, a 10% increase since last year!
Single-family homes in San Francisco have always been desirable, but the pandemic made these properties more coveted than ever! Demand doesn’t seem to have cooled off as vaccines roll out and California businesses get closer to “normal.” Folks who were waiting to buy because of pandemic uncertainties don’t seem to be waiting anymore, as consumers feel more and more hopeful!
Here Come the Condos!
Condos, on the other hand, had a tough 2020. Inventory stacked up and prices declined month after month from July 2020 until February and March 2021. Since then median sales prices have increased each month. More condos were sold in the month of March 2021 than ever before in SF History! 407 sales smashed the previous monthly record of 328, set in May 2013.
The condo market appears to have recovered incredibly quickly in February and March. These properties are selling almost as quickly as they are coming on the market.
