As is expected, we saw a spike in new listings in September, flooding the market. Anecdotally, I think buyers were fatigued by the market as well as world events, and simply didn’t show up. Consequently, properties sat on the market, and we saw a higher than usual rate of price reductions in October.

Full-floor Edwardian condo in the heart of Noe Valley, just steps from the shops and restaurants on 24th Street as well as easy access to the bustling Mission and Bernal neighborhoods.

It'll be a while before we really see how the market behaved this fall, but anecdotally, I can say that there were some significant shifts. Listings seemed to sit on the market longer, and properties went for less stratospheric prices than we've seen previously.

It will be another month before hard data on the autumn selling season begins to become available. In the meantime, below is a review of market trends and statistics through the third quarter.

Spring may be the season with the greatest amount of real estate activity in San Francisco, but just as predictably, September is the month that tends to bring the greatest number of new listings to market. (See the seasonality section in my market report.) If you’re looking to buy a home in the city, it’s arguably the best time of year, as inventory opens up and relieves some of the competitive pressure.

Sports fans take note of this chic, boutique 2BR/2.5BA top-floor loft condo in the white-hot Central Waterfront/Dogpatch neighborhood, just steps from the new Chase Center and an easy hop to AT&T Park. Plenty of shopping, restaurants, nightlife & transportation at your fingertips in this hip neighborhood. Go Warriors!

Q2’s sales were predictably strong, as we head into September, the month when historically the most listings come on the market. Buyers should get their financing lined up to prepare.

I’ve had people comment to me in the past that they didn’t think they could buy a home because they were self-employed. My colleagues at RPM Mortgage have programs specifically designed for self-employed borrowers that take into consideration their income streams.

High stock markets, low interest rates, surging luxury home sales, limited inventory, a spring full of unicorn IPOs, and San Francisco - once again -hits new highs in median home sales prices.
