San Francisco Real Estate in Spring 2025, and Other Updates

Spring has arrived in San Francisco, bringing flowers, festivals, and plenty of new real estate opportunities.

A Quick Look at the Market
In many ways, San Francisco's spring real estate market continues to unfold like two stories at once.

• Many single-family homes are seeing intense competition, with bidding wars driving prices well above asking in some neighborhoods.
• Meanwhile, condos still present value potential to buyers, with median prices dancing around the same level for the past two years. Luxury condo sales were up dramatically in the first two months of 2025.

Maximizing Your Home Sale

The reality is that folks are staying in their homes longer. San Francisco ranks near the top, with the median seller having owned for 17 years. When the time comes to sell, whether in the busy spring real estate market or any other time of year, you want to maximize your results.
