As we dive into Q2 of 2025, San Francisco’s housing market continues to show strong demand and limited supply—factors that are shaping this high-stakes seller’s market. Whether you’re looking to sell your home or buy into one of the Bay Area’s most competitive markets, understanding current trends is key.

📉 Inventory remains tight

Months supply of inventory: 3.0

San Francisco’s inventory is low. This number means that if no new homes were listed, the current inventory would sell out in just three months. For reference, a balanced market typically has 5–6 months of inventory. We’re still deep in seller territory.
Even more telling, the 12-Month Change in Inventory shows a 29.25% decrease from April 2024. In short: demand is outpacing supply, and listings are getting scooped up fast.

⏳ Homes are selling fast

Median days on market: 39
Homes in San Francisco are not lingering. With properties averaging just over five weeks on the market, well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods are going pending quickly. This is a key sign that buyer competition remains strong.

💸 Sellers are seeing over-list offers

Sold to list price ratio: 108.8%
Homes are consistently selling for more than their asking price—on average, nearly 9% over list. This trend points to multiple-offer scenarios, bidding wars, and buyers willing to pay a premium for a foothold in SF.

🏠 Home prices hold strong

Median sold price: $1,438,000
With home values staying steady and rising, sellers can expect strong returns. Buyers should be prepared to bring competitive offers, especially for well-maintained or move-in ready homes in desirable neighborhoods.

🧭 What This Means for You

🟩 If You’re a Seller:
Now is a great time to list your home. With low inventory, high buyer demand, and prices exceeding list value, you’re in an excellent position to attract serious offers.
🟦 If You’re a Buyer:
Be prepared to move quickly. Homes are selling fast, and multiple-offer scenarios are common. Work with an experienced local agent to craft strong, compelling offers.
