The San Francisco real estate market is continuing to experience high demand, with limited inventory available for sale. This creates an extremely competitive environment, especially for buyers. If you're considering buying or selling in San Francisco, here's the February 2025 market update and what it means for you.
Months Supply of Inventory: 1.39 The months supply of inventory remains very low, indicating a strong seller’s market. Homes are selling quickly, and the demand continues to exceed the available supply of properties. With only 1.39 months of inventory, the competition for homes is intense.
12-Month Change in Inventory: -51.23% This dramatic decrease in inventory shows that homes are selling faster than ever, and the market is continuing to tighten. Fewer properties are being listed, further fueling the already high demand.
Median Days on Market: 40 Days Properties in San Francisco are selling quickly with an average of 40 days on the market before going under contract. For buyers, this means that acting fast is critical to securing a home, and for sellers, it means that homes are likely to be sold at a premium.
Sold to List Price: 112.6% On average, homes are selling for 12.6% above their asking price, which demonstrates the ongoing competitive environment. Multiple offers and bidding wars are common in the current market, with buyers being willing to pay more than the list price.
Median Sold Price: $1,535,000 Home values in San Francisco remain strong, with the median sold price showing significant resilience in the market. Buyers should be prepared to pay a premium for properties in the city, while sellers have the opportunity to capitalize on rising prices.
For Sellers: If you're thinking about selling, now is an ideal time to take advantage of the high demand and low inventory. Homes are selling quickly and often above asking price. If your home is priced well and in good condition, you could receive multiple offers and sell for top dollar.
For Buyers: While inventory is limited, more properties are expected to come onto the market in the coming months. However, the competition is still fierce. Buyers should be prepared to move quickly, submit strong offers, and potentially engage in bidding wars to secure their dream home. It's critical to get pre-approved for a mortgage and work with a skilled real estate agent who understands the competitive nature of the San Francisco market.
