Limited inventory is leading to a somewhat frenetic single-family home market in San Francisco this spring. It seems like there are many buyers running around with more than 20% down to offset higher interest rates, which is is fueling overbidding situations.
320 houses sold over the past six weeks for a median price of $1,770,000. The sweet spot is the $1.5M-$3M range, for which a majority of homes closed. Houses spent an average of 23 days on market.
Buyers haven’t held back from big overbids. In fact, 33% of all homes sold in this time period changed hands for 20% or more over the list price, with most homes selling for over asking. Here’s a look at our most dramatic overbids; all but two hail from the west side of town—the hot spot for overbidding:
