March 2010 Report
San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for February 2010

For a list of past market reports click here

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in February increased from January for the San Francisco Real Estate Market and were much better than a year ago. The average selling price was under 100% of the average listing price with most of the categories we track with the exception of single family homes under $2M and co-ops. The average days on the market was slightly less than they were in January and about the same as a year ago.

What do these numbers all mean? Compared to a year ago, the San Francisco market is going much better. Compared to month ago, we have a mixed bag. If you look at the percentage of average sold prices versus average listing price, you can see a couple of categories have over 100% of the listing price. Could this be an indicator that the market is moving toward a seller's market? Only time will tell. Right now single family homes under $2M is the winning category. Co-ops also average over the listing price, but these are a rare breed and are not a fair representation of the market.

We publish a weekly report for even more insight.

* Remember, closed sales in any month reflect deals ratified in the previous month with a typical 30 day close.

Mortgage rates are always changing. Foster Weeks does a weekly mortgage update which is posted on our blog.
