December 2008 Report
San Francisco Real Estate Market Update for November 2008

For a list of past market reports click here

The number of homes in the Overall Sales category sold in November dropped dramatically from October in the San Francisco Real Estate Market and much lower than a year ago. The average selling price was again slightly UNDER 100% of the average listing price. However the average selling price was slightly higher than October and about what it was a year ago. The average days on the market increased to 58.

What do these numbers all mean? Once again, the homes over $2M are taking less time to sell than those under $2M. Single family homes seem to be the best market of those we track. All it all, November has traditionally been a slow month as is December. The market numbers bear that out. We will have more analysis as months go on. We hope you appreciate the more detailed analysis of the market numbers.

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, part of which is posted on our blog.
