San Francisco Home Listings & Real Estate Market Data: Are we our neighbors?

San Francisco Home Listings: Are we our neighbors?

Last Sunday, the Chronicle printed an article about a slowdown in the luxury market. As usual, San Francisco real estate listings were lumped into the broader Bay Area market. Given that I’m a big believer in all real estate is local (but you gotta understand global to interpret), I was curious to see how the market dynamics would compare between the published Bay Area statistics and just San Francisco City and County.

Let’s find out!

Does Warren Buffett’s comment on housing apply to our local San Francisco Home Sales?

Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Meeting dubbed “Woodstock” for Capitalists by the Wall St. Journal was full of insights and even a game of bridge between Warren and Bill. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, that is!

Does Warren Buffett’s comment on housing apply to our local San Francisco Home Sales? You bet!

“In the last few months you’ve seen a real pickup in activity although at much lower prices,” Mr Buffett said, citing data from Berkshire’s real estate brokerage business, Home Services of America Inc., which is one of the largest in the U.S.

In California, medium and lower-price homes – under $750,000 – have been selling more, though there hasn’t been a bounce back in sale prices, Mr. Buffett said. “We see something close to stability at these much-reduced prices in the medium to lower part of the market.”

Here’s how to apply to San Francisco listings:

1. If you’re a buyer in the medium and lower price market, be prepared for competition but you’ll get a great deal.
2. If you’re a seller in the medium and lower price market, be realistic about your home’s value and it will sell quickly.
3. If you want to move-up from a lower price home and into a more luxury condo or house, you’re in the driver’s seat. Your “starter” home should sell quickly and you’ll have bargaining power for your next purchase. Make money on the buy this time!

More San Francisco Homes Are Selling?

According to The Wall St. Journal, more homes in California are selling.

“California’s housing-market slump showed hints of improvement in March, with sales of existing single-family homes increasing 64% from the prior-year period and median home prices rising month-to-month for the first time since August 2007, according to a trade group report.”

Does this mean more homes in San Francisco are selling too? More on that later.
