July 2009 Report
San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for June 2009

For a list of past market reports click here

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in June increased from May and for the fourth month in a row in the San Francisco Real Estate Market but still lower than a year ago. The average selling price was again UNDER 100% of the average listing price as is the case with all the categories we track, but percentages show that sellers and buyers are coming closer. The average selling price was lower than the previous month for the first time in three months and much lower than a year ago. The average days on the market remained about the same as they were in May.

What do these numbers all mean? It was another good month for San Francisco real estate. Selling prices and listing prices are getting closer and closer indicating that buyers and sellers are starting to agree on value. There have been reports of multiple offer situations again, but not enough to drive prices over the 100% mark. Occasionally we see multiple offers get the sellers a little more money than the first offer, but rarely are they going for over the asking price. This means there are still deals out there. If you are buyer who is sitting on the fence, now is probably a good time to make that offer!

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.
