Summertime in the City: Where’s the Slowdown?
The market typically slows down significantly in San Francisco for the summer, but not this year. Shameless plug here: my latest listing at 3031 Octavia Street had a preemptive offer within 5 days, and this condo in Cow Hollow clocked in at $1,309 per square foot! “What’s a preemptive offer,” you ask? I’ll talk more about that in my next newsletter.
Anyway, back to the topic: The beginning of this year started off quiet with no or negative year-over-year home price appreciation. So what changed?
High stock markets, low interest rates, surging luxury home sales, limited inventory, a spring full of unicorn IPOs, and we—once again—hit new highs in median home sales prices. Read on to see the latest numbers.
