September brought a noticeable pickup in San Francisco's housing market, with more homes selling and median prices climbing across both single family homes and condos compared to August.

Interestingly, homes also spent more time on the market month over month, even as both property types continued to sell faster than they did a year ago. This suggests buyers are active, but perhaps a little more selective as the fall market gets underway.

Condo activity was particularly encouraging, with sales increasing more than 25% from August and median prices remaining well above last year's levels.

The takeaway? San Francisco's market continues to show strength, but pricing, presentation, and understanding buyer expectations remain essential.

JUST SOLD | POTRERO HILL

Sometimes the right home is worth waiting for. Already a resident of The Potrero, my buyer had been patiently waiting for a two bedroom, two bathroom home to become available in the building. When this one came to market, it was exactly what she had been hoping for. She now has more space while staying in a community and location she already loves.

The residence offers two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, an open and airy living space, oversized windows, hardwood floors, and a beautifully appointed primary suite with a walk in closet and en suite bath. The Potrero also features landscaped courtyards, a fitness center, and a rooftop deck with sweeping City views.

Located at the base of Potrero Hill, The Potrero offers easy access to Dogpatch, Mission Bay, and the surrounding neighborhoods. Some of the City’s best restaurants, parks, shops, and neighborhood favorites are just outside the door. I’m thrilled for my buyer as she begins this next chapter in a place that already feels like home!

Single family home prices climbed nearly 16% year over year, while sales increased more than 20% and homes moved faster than they did a year ago. Condos told a slightly different story: prices remained relatively steady, while the number of sales jumped more than 57%.

The bigger picture: Marin saw significantly more homes changing hands this August, with particularly strong momentum in the single family market. With competition remaining high in San Francisco, Marin continues to be an attractive alternative for buyers looking just beyond the City, and that broader demand may be contributing to the increased activity we’re seeing.

As the fall market gets underway, I’ll be watching to see how buyer activity and new inventory shape the months ahead.

Single family home prices climbed sharply year over year, even as the number of sales dipped slightly amid lower overall inventory. Condos saw strength across the board, with higher prices, more sales, and homes moving considerably faster than they did a year ago.

The bigger picture: buyers remained active, and well positioned properties continued to move quickly. With the fall market now underway, I’ll be watching closely to see how that momentum carries into the final months of the year.

Curious what these numbers mean for your neighborhood or your plans to buy or sell? I’m always happy to chat.

Marin’s July market showed encouraging momentum heading into the second half of summer.

Sales activity increased across both single family homes and condos compared to last year, while prices also moved higher. That combination points to a market with healthy buyer demand, even during a time of year that can typically see activity slow.

The condo market was particularly notable. Homes sold slightly faster than they did last July, suggesting buyers are responding when the right properties come to market.

For single family homes, the story was one of steady strength. Prices edged higher, homes moved slightly faster, and significantly more properties changed hands than a year ago.

The takeaway? Marin’s market is showing strength across multiple fronts. As we approach the fall market, new inventory will be an important factor to watch and could create fresh opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

July’s numbers tell a bigger story than just rising prices.

San Francisco’s summer market is typically quieter as buyers and sellers travel and new inventory slows, but demand remained resilient this July. Single family homes continued to command a premium, with well positioned properties moving quickly even as fewer homes changed hands.

The condo market tells a slightly different story. A significant increase in sales activity, combined with shorter marketing times and higher prices than last year, points to buyers becoming increasingly active in a segment that has offered more inventory and choice in recent years.

The takeaway? The market is moving, but not uniformly. Property type, neighborhood, condition, and pricing strategy continue to make a major difference in how a home performs.

As we head toward the fall market, I’ll be watching closely to see whether increased inventory brings more opportunities for buyers and how continued demand impacts sellers.

Every renovation tells a story.

The finished photos are what everyone sees. The planning, decisions, and countless details behind them are what often make the difference.

From preserving original Victorian character to thoughtful updates that improve how a home lives today, every project is approached with intention.

This transformation at 3345 22nd Street is a great reminder that preparing a home for the market is about more than fresh paint or new finishes. It's about understanding what buyers value while respecting what makes a property unique.

It's hard to believe we're already more than halfway through 2026!

I'm incredibly grateful to every client who trusted me to guide them through such an important milestone. Whether buying or selling, every transaction is unique, and it's a privilege to be part of each journey.

Here's a look back at some of the incredible homes I had the opportunity to represent during the first half of the year. Thank you to my clients, colleagues, friends, and everyone who has supported my business along the way.

APRIL MARKET SNAPSHOT

The Bay Area spring market didn’t just stay active in April, it became more competitive.

San Francisco continued to see strong upward pressure on pricing, with single family homes surpassing a $2.1M median price and condos showing a notable jump in buyer activity compared to March. Even with more inventory coming online, buyer demand continued to keep pace throughout April.

Marin remained remarkably steady, especially in the single family market where well presented homes continued to move quickly.

A few numbers that stood out to me this month:

• SF condo sales jumped 22.4% year over year
• San Francisco homes averaged just 17 days on market
• Marin single family sales increased nearly 15% year over year
• Buyer activity strengthened across both homes and condos heading into summer

April felt like a clear shift deeper into the spring market.
