Heating Up: SF Real Estate in Recovery (Market Update)

May 28, 2024

From our recent newsletter (you're subscribed, right? 😉), let's dive right into the latest on the San Francisco real estate market!

San Francisco Real Estate: May 2024 Market Highlights

After two dreary years for SF real estate, the market is heating up this spring. Home prices, sales volume, luxury sales, new listings, and overbidding are all on the rise. But not every listing is flying off the shelves—price reductions are also up. Strategically pricing and presenting your home is still key.

  • House prices are up ~ 10% annually for the three months ending in April. This marks the first positive quarterly appreciation for single-family homes since Q2 2022.
  • Condos are also recovering. This is most evident in the downtown/SoMa area, where the median 3-month sale price has jumped from a 10-year low of ~ $800K in late 2023 to ~ $1M in April.
  • New listings rose in April, up 18% monthly and 30% annually compared to last spring.
  • Condos and TICs still dominate the SF market, making up 74% of listings, while houses account for 26%.

If you take one thing from the data, it’s that San Francisco real estate is in recovery, not a frenzy a la 2021. It’s easy to see big jumps in the numbers when comparing to recent lows. However, these are all positive signs for a healthier market and greater mobility for both first-time buyers and sellers looking to move within the city.

Meanwhile, the CPI inflation rate ticked up to 3.5% in March, which nudged mortgage rates back above 7%. The Fed has been playing it cool since August, and while there's been a lot of speculation about rate cuts, none have materialized. With rates steady, if not falling, buyers and sellers are rolling with the punches and moving forward with their plans.
