December Real Estate Market Report: A Strange Year Begins Winding Down

Though the pandemic upended many normal seasonal trends this year, the market did begin its typical “holiday season” slowdown in November - however activity remained well above levels of last year. It is unknown how the latest Covid-19 circumstances may affect the market in December, which is usually by far the slowest month of the year.

More importantly, we hope you and your loved ones stay safe and well during this challenging holiday season.

San Francisco Median Home Sales Prices, Sept-Nov Sales in 2018, 2019 & 2020 | bayareamarketreports.com

Summary

  • In 1990, the SF median house price was about $300,000; it is currently running about $1,650,000.
  • A big increase in supply since the pandemic struck has led to declines in condo median sales prices.
  • As is typical, the number of new listings plunged in November. December is usually the month with the lowest number of new listings coming on market.
  • With the decline in new listings, overall listing inventory dropped, but remained much higher than in previous years.
  • The number of condos on the market dramatically increased since the pandemic struck, but began to decline in November.
  • Market activity as measured by the number of listings going into contract is significantly higher on a year-over-year basis: over 40% higher in November 2020.
  • The house market has been significantly stronger than the market for condos since the pandemic struck.
  • The number of listings reducing price dropped in November, but remained elevated over previous years.
