Our SF real estate newsletter this month is all about your San Francisco home value... with a dash of Valentine's love. 💘 XOXO!
Okay, be honest. Have you ever spent an evening scrolling Zillow to check out your SF home’s value... or maybe snoop a neighbor’s? 🕵️♀️ (No judgement. We've all been there.)
Home values are extremely important in San Francisco real estate. When you sell a home, the listing price is your strongest marketing tool. That’s why a smart pricing + presentation strategy is so important, because ultimately it’s the buyer who decides the sale price with their offer.
We dive into the details on this topic in our new post: What’s My Home in San Francisco Worth? Top Realtor’s Guide to Market Value & Listing Price
But what if you’re not selling? In the media, rising home prices are generally celebrated as a good thing—and for a country of nearly two-thirds homeowners, that’s generally true. But not always: first-time buyers face growing barriers to entry, while trading up to a more expensive property has benefits in a cooler market.
As in most things, your preference for SF home value depends on your perspective and goals. We explore some of these on our recent blog: Boom? Crash? What San Francisco Home Prices Actually Mean for Sellers & Buyers
By the way, here’s a friendly reminder that San Francisco property taxes are due as of now in February and will be considered delinquent after April 10! If you need a refresher, we put all the links and info on this page.
Reach out with any real estate questions. We are always happy to help you and anyone you send our way!
