There was almost nothing left to buy in Castro and Eureka Valley at the end of August. This Castro & Eureka Valley market report for September 2026 covers sales activity in August 2026.
Not a single single-family home was actively for sale when the month closed, and the three-month median house price reached the highest level in our ten-year data.
Data as of September 14, 2026, from SFAR MLS. Some recent-month figures may still be updated as late sales are reported.
We lead with condos because they close slightly more often here, about five a month against four and a half for single-family homes. Both segments are small, so we lead with three-month figures throughout.
Two condos closed in August. That is too few for a monthly median, so the single-month price and pace rows below are n/a. The three-month column covers 20 sales and is the one to read.
Months supply was 0.3 over the three months through August, against 1.8 a year ago. Active listings averaged 1.7, down 81%. Only two condos were still for sale at the end of the month. Months supply estimates how long it would take to sell everything currently on the market at the current pace of sales. Lower means a tighter, more competitive market.
The three-month median was $1,375,000 across those 20 sales, down 5.7% from a year ago. With this few sales the median moves on unit mix more than on value, so we would not read a 5.7% dip as prices falling. Competition went the other way: 70.0% of three-month sales closed above asking, against 50.0% a year ago, and the typical sale finished at 108.2% of its original asking price. Last month we reported 109.3% for the three months through July.
| Metric | August 2026 | 3-mo avg / rolling | vs. year ago* |
|---|---|---|---|
| New listings | 3 | 3.0 avg | vs 3.7 avg |
| Active listings | 2 | 1.7 avg | -81% |
| Pending sales | 3 | 5.3 avg | vs 3.7 avg |
| Closed sales | 2 | 6.7 avg | vs 4.7 avg |
| Median sale price (n=20 sales, 3-mo) | n/a | $1,375,000 | -5.7% |
| % sold over list | n/a | 70.0% | +20.0 pts |
| % of original price | n/a | 108.2% | +8.8 pts |
| Days on market | n/a | 20 | -12 days |
| Months supply | n/a | 0.3 | -1.5 |
Three single-family homes closed in August, so the single-month rows are again shown as n/a. The three-month figures cover 11 sales.
The three-month median was $4,999,999, up 50.8% from a year ago. That is the highest three-month median in our ten-year data for this segment. It is also, quite literally, one dollar under five million, which tells you it reflects a specific asking price rather than a broad repricing of the neighborhood. Across 11 sales in a segment this small, the median says a good deal about which homes closed.
Supply is the firmer number. Months supply was 0.2 over the three months through August, the lowest reading in our ten-year data. No single-family homes were actively for sale at the end of August, which is why there is no single-month months supply figure. There is nothing to divide by.
That has now happened three times in ten years, in December 2025, April 2026 and August 2026. Competition stayed strong, with 81.8% of three-month sales closing above asking and the typical sale finishing at 129.9% of its original asking price. Last month we reported 129.2% for the three months through July.

Last month we wrote that zero single-family homes were actively for sale in July. Since we published, the MLS has recorded one active listing for July, so that statement no longer holds for July as written.
The point itself survived the month, just moved. August genuinely closed with none for sale. We would rather flag the change than quietly restate the number. Every comparison in this post uses one data pull.

Market data is a helpful tool, but it is one part of a bigger picture. Perfectly timing the market only really happens in hindsight. What matters more is your own situation, your timeline, and your long-term goals, and making the most of your options when the time is right for you. That is the work we do with buyers and sellers every day.
