Pacific Heights has changed a lot in the past couple of years. Not long ago it was one of the slower corners of the San Francisco market, with homes sitting and sellers cutting prices. That is not where things stand now.
Here is what June looked like, for condos and single-family homes separately.
Data as of July 27, 2026, from the San Francisco MLS. This report covers June 2026. Some recent-month figures may still be updated as late sales are reported.
Condos are the larger market here by a good margin. Pacific Heights closes about a dozen condo sales in a typical month, roughly two and a half times its single-family volume, so we will start there.
Supply is the number that jumps out. There were 9 condos actively for sale at the end of June. That is the lowest June figure in our ten-year data, and it is not particularly close. The next lowest June was 10, back in 2018 and 2019. A more typical June here has somewhere between 18 and 37 condos on the market.
Months supply came in at 1.1 on a three-month basis, down from 2.2 a year ago. Months supply estimates how long it would take to sell everything currently on the market at the current pace of sales, and lower means a tighter, more competitive market.
Buyers noticed. Over the past three months, 65% of Pacific Heights condos sold above asking, compared with about 47% for the same stretch last year. The typical sale closed at roughly 108% of its original list price, up from 102%. Twenty condos went under contract in June alone.
Prices have moved more gently than the competition numbers might suggest. The three-month median is $1,677,500, up about 2% from a year ago. June on its own came in at $1,450,000 across 19 closed sales, which is a reminder that month-to-month medians bounce around depending on which units happen to close.
Sellers have been listing into that demand. New condo listings averaged about 21 per month over the past three months, up 19% from last year. Even so, inventory keeps falling, because homes are going under contract faster than new ones arrive.
| Metric | June 2026 | 3-month | vs. year ago* |
|---|---|---|---|
| New listings | 14 | 20.7 avg | +19% |
| Active listings | 9 | 14.0 avg | −48% |
| Pending sales | 20 | 21.3 avg | +21% |
| Closed sales | 19 | 20.0 avg | +3% |
| Median sale price (19 closed sales) | $1,450,000 | $1,677,500 | +2% |
| % sold over list | 63.2% | 65.0% | +18.4 pts |
| % of original price | 106.1% | 108.4% | +6.6 pts |
| Days on market | 18 | 15 | unchanged |
| Months supply | 0.7 | 1.1 | −50% |
A note on this section first. Pacific Heights closes about five single-family homes in a typical month, so we lean on the three-month figures here. June happened to be busier than usual with 8 sales, but a single month at this volume can still swing on which particular houses closed.
The competition numbers have turned around sharply. Over the past three months, 59% of single-family homes sold above their asking price. For the same three months last year, that figure was under 8%. Homes went under contract in a median of 12 days, down from 22 a year ago. The typical sale closed at about 109% of its original list price, up from 96%.
That last comparison is worth sitting with. A year ago the average Pacific Heights house was selling for less than its first asking price, meaning sellers were cutting to get deals done. Now they are getting meaningful premiums.
Inventory points the same way. There were 4 single-family homes actively for sale at the end of June, tied with June 2019 for the lowest June in our ten-year data. Months supply is 1.4 on a three-month basis, down from 3.9 a year ago.
For context on how far this has swung: in late 2023 this same measure reached 10.6 months, the highest in our ten-year data. That was a genuine buyer's market, and it lasted the better part of two years. It is gone.
Here is the part we would flag if you asked us over coffee. Prices have not followed. The three-month median sale price is $7,742,500, which is essentially flat against $7,800,000 a year ago. Competition, speed and inventory have all moved dramatically. The middle of the price range has not.
There are a few reasonable explanations, and we cannot tell you from the data alone which is right. At five sales a month, the mix of which houses sell moves the median more than the market does. It may also be that sellers who spent the past two years pricing defensively are still doing so, and buyers are simply competing that pricing back up to fair value rather than past it.
| Metric | June 2026 | 3-month | vs. year ago* |
|---|---|---|---|
| New listings | 4 | 7.7 avg | −12% |
| Active listings | 4 | 6.3 avg | −60% |
| Pending sales | 3 | 6.7 avg | vs 4.7 avg |
| Closed sales | 8 | 7.3 avg | vs 4.3 avg |
| Median sale price (8 closed sales) | $7,742,500 | $7,742,500 | −1% |
| % sold over list | 50.0% | 59.1% | +51.4 pts |
| % of original price | 101.1% | 108.5% | +12.2 pts |
| Days on market | 13 | 12 | −10 days |
| Months supply | 0.9 | 1.4 | −64% |
A couple of the terms above, briefly. % sold over list is the share of homes that sold above their asking price. % of original price compares the final sale price to the very first asking price, so it also captures any price cuts along the way. Days on market is how long a typical listing took to go from hitting the market to accepting an offer. Pending means the seller accepted an offer, and closed means the sale finished, which usually happens about a month later because of escrow.
The median, since we use it throughout: it is the middle value. Half the sales were above it, half below. We use it instead of the average because one very expensive or very cheap sale can't throw it off. In a neighborhood where a single sale can run well into eight figures, that matters.
Market data is useful. We genuinely enjoy this stuff. But it is one part of a much bigger picture, and it only goes so far.
Perfectly timing the market is something that really only happens in hindsight. What matters far more is your own situation: where you are in your life, what you are trying to do next, and what your options actually look like right now. In Pacific Heights especially, the neighborhood number and your number can be quite different. A view floor on a prime block and a garden unit a few streets over are not the same market, and no median captures that.
If you own here, the honest answer to "what is my place worth" comes from looking at your building, your floor, your outlook and your condition, not from a chart. We are happy to do that for you.
That is the work we do with buyers and sellers every day, and it is why we would rather talk with you about your specifics than hand you a chart and wish you luck.
If you are curious what all this means for you, get in touch and we'll talk it through. You can also read more about how we work with buyers, how we work with sellers, or Pacific Heights and the other San Francisco neighborhoods we cover.
