Rise Homes San Francisco Market Update, July 2025.

San Francisco’s housing market continues to demonstrate strong demand and tightening supply as we move through July 2025. Both buyers and sellers need to understand the latest numbers to make confident decisions in this dynamic environment.

📉 Months Supply of Inventory: 2.61 

San Francisco is still firmly in seller’s market territory. With fewer homes available than buyers competing, this low inventory keeps the market competitive and gives sellers leverage in negotiations.

📈 Inventory Trends: -19% month-over-month, -32% year-over-year 

The steady decline in inventory highlights one of the toughest challenges for buyers—limited choice. Sellers benefit from these conditions, as fewer available homes often lead to stronger offers and faster sales.

⏳ Median Days on Market: 55 

Homes are taking nearly two months to sell, which reflects a steady pace. This provides some breathing room for buyers to evaluate options, while sellers should focus on presentation and pricing to attract serious offers sooner.

💰 Sold to List Price: 106% 

On average, homes are selling for 6% over asking. Competitive bidding remains the norm, and buyers need to be ready to submit strong, well-prepared offers. Sellers can anticipate favorable returns above their initial expectations.

🏠 Median Sold Price: $1,369,500 

This figure reflects the strength of San Francisco’s real estate market, with values holding high. Buyers should align budgets and financing early, while sellers can use this benchmark to set competitive listing prices.

🧭 What this means for you:

🟩 For Sellers: Low supply and strong demand make this an ideal time to list. Buyers are motivated and paying above asking.
🟦 For Buyers: Be ready for competition. Strong offers and flexibility are key to securing a home in San Francisco’s high-demand neighborhoods.
