Below is a sampling of specific 2012 San Francisco home sales closing before April 30. The short descriptions can only give a very general sense of the location, emotional appeal, quality, condition and amenities of each property, and the sales listed are not necessarily representative of typical values for the neighborhood and property type.

BR = bedrooms, BA = baths, days on market = the days between going on market and being designated “pending sale, contingencies removed”. Homes that sold at or over asking price will typically have accepted offers within 7 to 14 days of going on market (commonly after receiving multiple offers), even if it may have taken additional weeks to remove contingencies of sale and be designated “pending”.

Median price is that price at which half the sales occurred for more and half for less. It may be and often is affected by other factors besides changes in value, such as changes in buying patterns or available inventory.

Square footage is based on “livable space”, which may be measured in different ways, but should not include decks, patios, yards, garages, unfinished basements and attics, or rooms built without permit (“bonus rooms” and “in-law apartments”). Square footage figures are often unreported or unreliable. All median and average statistics should be considered approximations, and it is unknown how they apply to any specific property.

This full floor flat boasts a desirable floor plan featuring a remodeled eat-in kitchen, a spacious living room with adjoining formal dining room, two large bedrooms including a master with a sliding door that leads to a private deck overlooking a lovely garden, and a remodeled bathroom.

Listings for Sale: At this time of year, inventory typically starts to grow. Instead it continues to decline, i.e., homes are selling more quickly than they are coming on market. We are at about half the number of active listings as at this time last year.

Click to Enlarge

Percentage of Listings Accepting Offers: Comparing demand to supply, the SF market is hotter than it has been in many years.

Click to Enlarge

New Listings Coming on Market: Insufficient number of new listings to satisfy buyer demand. Hopefully, a spring surge in new listings will soon begin.

Median House Sales Price: Measuring median sales price by week is pretty iffy, since fluctuations are common without any great significance (even on a monthly basis), but for what it’s worth, the median sales price for SF houses has been climbing in recent weeks. We are certainly seeing upward pressure on home prices in most of the city’s neighborhoods right now.
