Hope you have been enjoying the beautiful fall weather! The IPO market has cooled considerably, and the trade wars with both Europe and China have added to buyer hesitation. In addition, the market typically slows and home sales generally decline this time of year. But on the other hand, San Francisco’s median sold price for condo/loft/TIC’s hit another new high - $1,272,500, just a couple thousand above last month’s $1,270,000.

The IPO market has cooled considerably, and the trade wars with both Europe and China have added to buyer hesitation. In addition, home sales typically decline this time of year.
On the other hand, San Francisco’s median sold price for condo/loft/TIC’s hit another new high - $1,272,500, just a couple thousand above last month’s $1,270,000. Sold price per square foot is off only slightly from its peak of $1,166 in July to $1,163. The number of new listings usually spikes in September, as properties are released to the market to meet buyers returning from Summer vacation. However, new single family home listings were down 22% compared to 2018. Sales were also down, by 4.9%. Condo/loft/TIC’s sales were also down, off a stiff 12%.
