Hi Friends,
As spring unfolds here in San Francisco, we’re seeing the market pick up speed in a way that feels very familiar to us. We’ve been in the middle of it with our clients—navigating multiple offers, strong overbidding, and the kind of fast-moving conditions that require both strategy and experience. Buyer demand continues to be incredibly strong, while inventory remains tight, creating a level of competition that’s pushing prices upward and driving quick, decisive sales. Single-family homes are still leading the charge, and we’ve also seen a notable surge in luxury activity, with some of the strongest early-year numbers we’ve experienced. Homes that are well-prepared and thoughtfully positioned are drawing significant attention, and across the city, there’s a palpable sense of energy, urgency, and real opportunity.
Spring is typically when median home prices reach their annual highs, and although last year’s unusual AI-driven fall boom shifted the usual pattern, this season is shaping up to be one of the most active we have seen. Houses are still outperforming condos, but the condo market is also rebounding in a meaningful way, with more movement and renewed buyer interest across the city. Higher-end buyers continue to play a major role in fueling demand and price growth, while the main challenge remains the same: there simply are not enough homes for sale.
Below are market reports, upcoming listings, available homes, and recent sales. Plus, don’t miss this month’s DA Pick, Cinderella Bakery — a spot with truly distinctive flavor.

San Francisco Investors Are Turning Back to the City
San Francisco’s commercial market is showing fresh momentum as investors return, office leasing picks up, and new development plans move forward. Fueled by artificial intelligence-driven demand, improving business confidence, and faster approvals, the city is beginning to look like an opportunity market again, especially for high-quality office and residential projects.

Every home has potential. Some just need you to see it. At 407 Banks St, small touches and thoughtful updates helped this home shine. A refreshed kitchen, an inviting deck and garden, and clean, well-presented bathrooms created a space that felt move-in ready and truly special.
With careful guidance and strategic marketing, we positioned the property to attract the right buyers, and it sold pre-emptively for $455K over asking.

“Thank you so much for all the hard work, good advice, patience and support that you and Dale gave us during this entire process of buying a new house and selling our old house. The entire experience from start to finish working with both of you was great. And, the best part was getting to know both of you better and becoming friends! We feel really blessed. We are looking forward to celebrating together when we get back!”
