San Francisco Median Sales Price MAy 2015

The median sales price for single-family homes in San Francisco for the first quarter of 2015 was $1,115,000. This represents a year-over-year increase of 12.6%, or $140,000. Condos have seen a $100,000 increase in median sales price, or 10.5%, to $950,000 for the same period. Average days on market has decreased from 37 to 33 days for single family homes; and 40 down to 38 days for condos. This isn’t surprising as the pressure of low inventory continues to have an impact on both sales price and time on market. There were 1,811 homes for sale (single-family and condos combined) during the first quarter of 2015, which is the lowest quarterly inventory we’ve experienced in ten years. That’s down 66.9% from a high of 5,970 homes for sale in the last quarter of 2010, and down 15.6% just from the same time period last year. Again, not surprisingly, this translates to almost the lowest number of closed escrows in five years with the first quarter of 2015 only 1.3% more than the first quarter of 2010. Truly an interesting time for San Francisco real estate.
