They say fashion repeats itself — but in San Francisco real estate, the only thing repeating is demand. As I sipped my morning espresso and scanned the Vanguard Properties November 2025 Market Report, I couldn’t help but feel like I was reading the season’s hottest trend recap. Except instead of hemlines rising, it’s home prices. And instead of handbags, it’s single-family homes flying off the shelves faster than a limited-edition couture drop.

In a city where the skyline is as iconic as a pair of Manolos, the market isn’t just moving — it’s strutting.

Single-family homes?

Honey, they walked the runway with confidence:

  • Median price up 5.7% to $1.85M

  • Price per sq ft climbing 6.5%

  • Nearly 80% selling over asking

  • Sellers pulling in an average 115.1% of list price

  • And with only 0.8 months of supply, it’s practically a sample-size inventory.

In other words: if you want a house in San Francisco, you better walk fast — because someone else is already walking faster.

And then there’s the condo market, the quiet understudy who suddenly stole the show.

Sure, median prices dipped ever so slightly — but activity? Darling, it surged.

  • Pending sales: +36.2%

  • Closed sales: +48.3%

  • Inventory dropping 26.9%

  • Sellers still earning 103% of list

It’s giving comeback couture — understated but powerful.

From Noe Valley’s over-asking showstoppers to Mission Bay’s polished new builds, each neighborhood is its own runway collection. Some minimalist, some maximalist, all uniquely… San Franciscan.

But here’s the real question: What look are you ready to step into?

Because markets like this don’t stay on the rack for long.
