San Francisco’s real estate market remains competitive this August, defined by tight inventory, strong buyer demand, and homes consistently selling above list price. Let’s dive into the latest numbers and what they mean for both buyers and sellers.
Months Supply of Inventory: 2.19
San Francisco continues to favor sellers. With just over two months of supply, homes are limited, keeping competition strong.
12-Month Change in Inventory: -43%
Compared to last year, inventory has dropped significantly. Fewer homes on the market mean buyers have fewer choices and sellers face less competition.
Median Days on Market: 54
Homes are moving in under two months on average. While not as fast as some nearby markets, this still reflects healthy buyer demand. Sellers should expect offers within weeks, and buyers should use this time wisely for due diligence.
Sold to List Price: 106.5%
Homes in San Francisco are selling for about 6.5% above their asking price. Multiple-offer scenarios remain common, and buyers should be prepared for bidding wars. Sellers can leverage this by pricing strategically and letting competition drive up the final sale price.
Median Sold Price: $1,249,000
San Francisco’s median home price remains above $1.2 million, reflecting strong property values and consistent buyer demand for city living.
🟩 For Sellers: With low inventory and homes selling above list, this is an excellent time to consider listing. Demand is high, and buyers are ready to compete.
🟦 For Buyers: Be prepared to act quickly and bring strong offers. Work with a local expert who can help you navigate competition and secure the right property.
