San Francisco Market Update-August 2017

Last month saw a 25% drop in the number of transactions, as compared to the month before. This decrease is likely due to seasonality. Both the single family and condominium sectors posted double digit year-over-year growth in median sale price. The middle single family price tier ($1.2MM to $1.7MM) saw the greatest pressure, with purchasers paying an average of 25% over list price. This is compared to 11% over list price for properties over $1.7MM. Condominium performance has improved as of late, likely due to lower new condominium inventory levels. New condominium inventory is running about 20% lower than last year. Condominiums also saw a reduction in market time of about 10 days, with a median of 21 days on market.
