The below charts track year to date sales by property type and neighborhood by number of sales; low, high and median sales price; average days on market (how long it took the home to be designated "pending sale"); and average sales price to original list price (that percentage of original list price buyers ended up paying). An asterisk signifies a confidential sale -- thus the final asking price is shown, not the actual sales price.
Market activity in SF increased substantially these past 3 months -- of course, spring is usually the most active time of the year -- though median prices generally continued to decline. Buyers are out in increasing numbers but continue to cherry pick those homes they consider the best values, and those they do purchase are selling, on average, at much higher discounts to the original list price than a year ago.
As always with general statistics, many aspects of value are not reflected below: curb appeal, condition, views, outdoor space, parking, rooms built without permit, quality of location within the neighborhood, and so forth. Thus, how the following statistics apply to any particular home and its value is unknown. Note the huge disparity that often appears between the low and high price for a particular property type in the same neighborhood: it sometimes runs in the multi-millions of dollars. With real estate, the devil's always in the details.
