These charts track San Francisco house and condo sales, as reported to MLS, by sales price — median and average — as well as average size and average dollar per square foot ($/sq.ft.). Only homes listed as having at least one parking space are included: homes without parking sell at a discount.
Very generally speaking and varying widely by city neighborhood, thus far in 2012/2013, San Francisco home prices have increased by 12% to 22% over 2011 values.
Within the charts, neighborhoods are listed in order of median sales price. Average size and dollar per square foot are only calculated on those listings that published square footage (depending on market segment, 10% – 50% do not), while median and average prices are for all sales. If a price is followed by a “k” it references thousands of dollars; if followed by an “m”, it signifies millions of dollars; “N/A” means that not enough reliable data was available to generate the statistic.
See the “Statistical Definitions” link to the left for important context and caveats to the analysis.
Many aspects of value cannot be adequately reflected in general statistics: curb appeal, age, condition, views, amenities, outdoor space, “bonus” rooms, parking, quality of location within the neighborhood, and so forth. Thus, how these statistics apply to any particular home is unknown. These analyses were performed in good faith using data from sources deemed reliable, but may contain errors and are subject to revision.
