If you’ve been riding the rollercoaster of real estate headlines lately—welcome to the club. One week it’s boom, the next it’s gloom… but in San Francisco, the real story is more balanced.
In April, the number of listings going into contract rose slightly from March and was up about 3% year over year. This steady demand tracks with the city’s gradual population growth—driven in part by increased international migration, as noted in the San Francisco Business Times.
Single-family homes are leading the way. Inventory has only ticked up slightly, prices are holding firm, and the most desirable homes—turnkey, well-located, and professionally staged—are still seeing multiple offers.
Price reductions? They’re happening, but far less frequently than in other Bay Area markets. While roughly 29% of listings across the region saw price cuts in April, San Francisco’s share was flat compared to last year.
As we move into the summer months, we typically expect a seasonal slowdown—but this year might be different. Anecdotally, we’ve got listings lined up even for mid-summer launches, and our go-to stagers are booked through June.
If you’re considering selling, now’s the time to prep for a strong fall debut—reach out to learn how our exclusive pre-market transformation package can help you maximize profit. And buyers: keep your eyes open. Homes lingering from spring or popping up unexpectedly this summer could offer real opportunities, and working with a savvy agent team can help you land the right one.
Below are market reports, upcoming listings, available homes, and recent sales. Plus, don’t miss our neighborhood spotlight on Noe Valley — along with fun things to do around San Francisco and our pick of the month.

Billionaires Fuel San Francisco Commercial Comeback
According to Bloomberg, San Francisco’s wealthiest innovators are scooping up landmark office buildings at steep discounts, betting big on the city’s next upswing.
One headline deal: record‑label CEO Ghazi Shami purchased the historic One Montgomery tower for $22.5 million—about 70 percent below its 2018 price. Similar “once‑in‑a‑generation” bargains are attracting household names: former Apple design chief Jony Ive has spent more than $100 million revamping properties in Jackson Square, while Google co‑founder Sergey Brin and NBA star Stephen Curry have each backed strategic acquisitions near key tech corridors.
Brokers tell Bloomberg that private capital often moves first when traditional underwriting “throws out the spreadsheet.” Their confidence is supported by fresh tailwinds: Q4 2024 marked the first quarter since 2020 in which more San Francisco office space was leased than vacated, thanks to an AI‑driven hiring surge and City Hall’s return‑to‑office mandates.
Industry analysts expect these high‑profile investments—and the renovations they’ll fund—to speed up demand through 2025, a positive signal for the broader Bay Area commercial market.
San Francisco Festivals & Events in June
June is the month to be in San Francisco. From vibrant Pride celebrations and outdoor concerts to art fairs and cultural festivals, the city buzzes with creativity. Whether you’re into music, film, food, or design, there’s something happening all month long.
We’re obsessed with the sandwiches at Arguello Market (Inner Richmond) and Palermo II Delicatessen (North Beach) — every bite is pure magic. Picking a single favorite? Impossible. We keep craving Arguello’s roasted turkey on Dutch crunch and Palermo II’s coppa-and-prosciutto “Special.” These aren’t just sandwiches; they’re edible masterpieces. No wonder The San Francisco Standard crowned them in its latest roundup. Dive into the full list at the link below and taste the legends for yourself!
DA Team Tip:
Grab Arguello’s roasted turkey on Dutch crunch “with the works,” then add pepper jack and cranberry — the sweet-savory pop is unbeatable.
“Right from the start it was apparent that Dale takes the time to understand the goals of his clients and establish a level of comfort that he is going to guide everything and deliver. We came out of the initial discussion with a clear understanding of how Dale would approach selling our property, and once we gave the ok, from there Dale guided the process exactly as he described so it was effortless for us. Within a few weeks Dale and his team had the property prepped, listed, toured and sold and they made the whole transaction cycle smooth. Throughout it all his team was very communicative and proactive, ensuring all our questions were answered thoroughly. If you are looking for someone who will look out for your best interest and deliver optimal results, then search no further – work with Dale and the team you will be happy you did.“
