If you’ve been scanning the headlines—rate-cut rumors shelved, stock swings, a mixed bag of Bay Area data—you might assume the spring market fizzled everywhere. Not so in San Francisco. While much of the region struggled with higher borrowing costs and softer demand, the city remained on its front foot: inventory levels held steady, homes continued to sell, and buyers still stepped up when the right property became available.
In fact, Q2 wrapped with solid absorption rates and competitive bidding on well-priced listings—proof that San Francisco’s market fundamentals remain resilient. With uncertainty fading, stock markets rallying, and mortgage rates beginning to ease, the stage is set for renewed momentum and an even more vibrant second half of the year.
Thinking of selling? There’s still time to prep for a standout fall debut—and our exclusive pre-market transformation package can help. This spring, our St. Francis Wood listing sold all-cash for $4.4M (a whopping $705K over asking) after just a few days on the market. Let’s talk about giving your home the same strategic edge.
As for buyers, activity tends to pick up after Labor Day—but there are still gems to be found now if you’re ready to move quickly.
Below are market reports, upcoming listings, available homes, and recent sales. Plus, don’t miss our spotlight on a fantastic transformation at 601 St. Francis Blvd, along with fun things to do around San Francisco and our pick of the month.

Mid-Summer Market Shines: Inventory Surges, Buyer Confidence Climbs
According to SFGate, citing fresh mid-July data from Realtor.com, buyers finally have room to breathe. New listings keep rolling in, total inventory has held above one million homes for weeks, and properties are sitting on the market a bit longer, tilting the summer landscape in shoppers’ favor.
Mortgage costs are inching down (the 30-year fixed is hovering near 6.7 percent), and purchase-loan applications are climbing year over year, signaling renewed confidence. With roughly one in five sellers adjusting prices to move quickly, negotiating power feels more balanced—good news for buyers hunting value and for sellers prepared to meet the market.

DA Team Tip:
Don’t skip the chile con queso (and yes, add spicy cilantro margarita 😏).
“I had a wonderful experience with Alla as my broker when I bought my new house in Sausalito. At every touch point she provided guidance, extra information, and always made me feel like I was her top priority. For example, with any house I wanted to see she made arrangements with the selling broker asap. She also contacted the selling broker with each of my questions. When it was time to write an offer, she guided me on how to write a strong offer. She continued to represent me after we went into contract and even after the closing. She made sure my experience during the process was seamless and stress free.”
