Although the primary purpose of the San Francisco Association of REALTORS® is to offer business services and legislative representation to REALTORS® in San Francisco and surrounding areas, it also provides a variety of information services to the public to strengthen the connection between REALTORS® and consumers. Those services are described below.

District/Subdistrict Map

The district/subdistrict map, a longtime staple of the MLS operated by the San Francisco Association of REALTORS®, was last updated in 2009. The map defines neighborhoods and subneighborhoods, albeit unofficially, to allow listed properties to be searched by district and subdistrict, instead of street name or map coordinates. The boundary lines and district/subdistrict descriptions that were changed on the map most recently reflect changes in the nature and feel of the city’s neighborhoods. Read the rest of this entry »

The data below is from sources deemed reliable but may contain errors or omissions, and is not warranted. Sales not reported to MLS (such as many new-development condo sales) are not reflected in these statistics. Median prices may fluctuate for other reasons besides changes in value.

SF Median Home Price by Property Type
Depending on neighborhood, SF home values peaked in 2006, 2007 or 2008, then declined dramatically in the 2nd half of 2008 (especially after 9/15/08), and then recovered (somewhat) with the surge in sales that began in spring of 2009. The increase in TIC median price in the 4th quarter of 2008 and the 1st quarter of 2009 is an anomaly: very few sales occurred and they do not reflect the reality that TIC values also fell during this period. (A good example of how median prices can fluctuate.) The main point of the chart is the stability of house and condo median prices in the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2009, and the uptick seen in the 4th quarter. It is too soon to reach definitive conclusions, but it appears that buyer demand is fueling a small increase in values.

Don’t worry!  This is easy to read. 

NAR Homebuyer Tax Credit Chart: published by the National Association of Realtors, this is a great synopsis of the latest version of the Homebuyer Tax Credit that has been approved by the government. 

There is now a provision for a “homebuyer,” not just “first-time homebuyers.”  As with anything, there are restrictions and limitations.  Take a peek and call me with any questions.
