San Francisco Real Estate - December 2025 Market Report

Statistics are generalities, essentially summaries of widely disparate data generated by dozens, hundreds or thousands of unique, individual sales occurring within different time periods. They are best seen not as precise measurements, but as broad, comparative indicators, with reasonable margins of error. Anomalous fluctuations in statistics are not uncommon, especially in smaller, expensive market segments. Last period data should be considered estimates that may change with late-reported data. Different analytics programs sometimes define statistics - such as "active listings," "days on market," and "months supply of inventory" - differently: what is most meaningful are not specific calculations but the trends they illustrate.

Maggie's Market Minute: Luxury Market Surges & Seasonal Slowdown Starts

Luxury Market Comeback In October, median prices were up year-over-year—2% for houses and 5.5% for condos—while luxury home sales made a big comeback, with year-to-date sales up an impressive 48%. This surge in the luxury market could be tied to record-high stock markets, fueling demand among high-end buyers.

Surge in September Listings Drives Contracts and Boosts Buyer Competition A big jump in September listings helped push the number of homes going into contract to its highest point since 2022. The absorption rate hit a two-year high, with monthly sales volume up 19% and transactions increasing 11% compared to last year. In October, homes were selling faster, and overbidding became more common, showing that certain segments of the market were seeing strong buyer interest. Seasonal Slowdown Ahead: A Window for Savvy Buyers November and December typically bring a noticeable slowdown in the market, and we’re already seeing many buyers holding back, waiting for the right moment to make a move. Mortgage rates have surged despite the Fed lowering rates, creating a disconnect that may be causing buyers outside the luxury segment to pause their plans, leading to slower activity in more affordable price ranges. With buyer demand and new listings cooling during this season, we can expect more unsold properties to be pulled from the market. However, for those still actively looking, this quieter period can present excellent opportunities to negotiate and secure some of the best deals of the year. Are you, or someone you know, ready to move? Let me know - I can help! Cheers, Maggie

How My Clients Won Against a Higher Cash Offer

The Challenge of a Competitive Market Securing a home in a fiercely competitive market with multiple offers can feel nearly impossible. My clients recently faced just such a challenge: their offer, though strong, wasn’t the highest. There were 4 offers on the table, with the top one being a cash offer and a 7-day close. My clients had a solid down payment but needed 30 days to close. Turning the Tide Through Relationships However, determination and relationships made all the difference. I’ve known the listing agent for some time, and I was able to advocate for my clients, winning the agent's full support. This connection allowed me to sell my clients as the ideal buyers, despite their need for more time to close. A Strategic Adjustment for a Win-Win Outcome With quick decision-making and a slight adjustment to match the highest offer, we were able to compensate for the longer closing time. By sweetening the deal, both my clients and the sellers benefited: my clients secured their dream home, and the sellers got top dollar. More Than Just Numbers This experience highlights an important truth in real estate: success isn't just about the numbers—it's about relationships, decisiveness, teamwork, and going the extra mile. Are you, or someone you know, ready to move? Let me know - I can help! Cheers, Maggie

Olympic Parallels to Real Estate

As the Olympics wind down this weekend, I am feeling a mix of emotions for these incredible athletes. From the joy of victory to the agony of defeat, the Games are the ultimate test of skill, endurance, and determination. It reminds me a lot of the real estate market. Real Estate is a Competition The excitement and energy of the Games reflects the competitive nature of real estate, where bidding wars and success depend on preparation, timing, and navigating fierce competition. Preparation and Strategy Lead to Winning Just as athletes spend years training for a moment of peak performance, buyers and sellers must carefully plan when buying or selling a home. Well-prepared homes attract top offers, while prepared buyers win with quicker closes and fewer contingencies. Overcoming Real Estate Hurdles: The Power of Quick Decisions Like hurdles in a race, factors like the economy, market conditions, interest rates, and insurance can disrupt your real estate plans. Success often depends on making split-second decisions that determine whether you win or lose the deal. Resilience in the Face of Setbacks Just as athletes must rise from disappointment to continue pursuing victory, sellers and buyers must stay resilient through setbacks, with sellers remaining flexible and patient as market conditions change, and buyers adjusting their criteria while staying persistent in their pursuit of a dream home. Winning in Real Estate: A Gold Medal Approach Winning gold at the Olympics and success in real estate both take dedication, planning, and the ability to perform under pressure. In both fields, it’s not just about talent or luck—it’s about strategy, resilience, and being ready to seize the moment when it matters most. Are you, or someone you know, ready to be a winner?

Life is Unpredictable: Set Up a Trust (Regardless of your Age!)

It's never pleasant to think about the unthinkable—death and accidents. Alas, life is unpredictable.....just in the past year, two of my clients had freak accidents (one fatal) and a friend was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. There's currently a condo for sale that belonged to a young woman who tragically lost her life due to domestic abuse. Death and accidents aren’t just a concern for older homeowners; it can affect anyone at any age. Probate, a lengthy and costly court process, decides what happens to your assets after you die or become incapacitated. Even if you have a will, your estate will go through probate upon your death unless your home is titled with the right of survivorship. Shockingly, $2 billion is spent every year on probate attorney fees alone! To protect your assets, you may want to consider holding your home in a trust. Why Set Up a Trust? Avoid Probate: Probate can be long and expensive. With a trust, your property skips probate, making things quicker and easier for your beneficiaries, saving them time, stress, and money. Protect Your Stuff: Trusts can keep your assets safe from creditors. Control Distribution: You can make sure your assets go exactly where you want, following your specific wishes. Provide for Minor Children: Trusts can protect beneficiaries who might not be able to handle their inheritance, like young children, those with disabilities, or those at risk of financial mismanagement. Keep Things Private: Probate is public, so anyone can see the details of your estate. Trusts are private, keeping your financial matters confidential. Manage Property Continuously: If you can't manage your property due to an accident or illness, a trust ensures your property is managed according to your wishes without needing court involvement. Reduce Estate Taxes: Some types of trusts can help you cut down on estate taxes, keeping more of your money for your beneficiaries. Putting your home in a trust can give you and yours peace of mind, no matter what happens. If you have any questions or need help setting up a trust, feel free to reach out and I can connect you. Are you, or someone you know, ready to move? Let me know - I can help! Cheers, Maggie

Maggie's Market Minute: Q2 May See the Hottest Market since the Pandemic Boom

With the first quarter of the year behind us, the real estate market has seen some big changes in supply and demand. This shake-up has brought about fierce competition and a flurry of activity in the market, pushing significant home price increases spanning from starter homes in hot neighborhoods, to luxury properties in every price bracket, as well as chic condos ticking all the boxes and well-priced listings in desirable neighborhoods. Driving Forces The surge in buyer interest has been boosted by stable interest rates holding steady around the mid-6% range and optimism driven by anticipated rate decreases. Plus, the stock market's performance, especially indices like the S&P and Nasdaq, are adding fuel to the real estate fire. Consumer confidence is also riding high, hitting its peak in almost three years, even though inflation rates are above the Fed's 2% target. New Opportunities Despite the overall surge in buyer activity, certain market segments still provide excellent opportunities where buyers have significant leverage. One interesting trend worth noting is the rising value opportunities in downtown markets. Recent data shows a stark contrast in condo appreciation rates between downtown areas and other parts of the city, with downtown neighborhoods enjoying a robust 7% year-over-year increase in median sales prices, compared to 3.5% in other neighborhoods. Outlook for Q2 Considering current trends and market conditions, it's highly probable that significant home price increases will persist into the second quarter of 2024.

Maggie's Market Minute: A Perfect Storm of Booming Confidence and Lower Rates

Hold onto your umbrellas! Consumer confidence shot up by a whopping 29% in just two months, marking the most significant surge since 1991. The stock markets are booming, with the S&P 500 hitting a record high yesterday following an unexpectedly robust jobs report. Mortgage rates? They're currently chilling at their lowest point since May 2023. With all these factors at play, there's an exuberance, and a wave of eager buyers flooding the market. The days of homes sitting around with no takers seems to be fading fast. Now, many new listings are flying off the shelves within days, often sparking bidding wars and multiple offers. Homes that lingered on the market last year are suddenly hot commodities, some even selling over asking. And guess what? This isn't just happening in the ritziest neighborhoods; it's even reaching downtown. Below is a quick rundown of how the action is unfolding across the city.

Only time will tell how long this is going to last, but for now we are savoring the rainbow after what has been a stormy 2023 in the housing market 🌈.

Are you, or someone you know, ready to move? Let me know - I can help! Cheers, Maggie

Reflecting on 30 Years: From JFK to Gratitude

30 Years ago. It was a cold and wet January day. When we touched the ground at JFK. It's hard to believe that it's been three decades since I embarked on an internship in Miami that was meant to last only six months. Little did I know then that this journey would take me through unexpected twists and turns, leading me to Atlanta where I met my husband, relocating to New York where I encountered my first experience with snow – a defining moment that ultimately led me to San Francisco where I found my true home. As I reflect on the past 30 years, I can't help but marvel at the role luck, running and the incredible people in my life have played in shaping my journey. I have a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunities this great country has bestowed upon me. The land of dreams and possibilities, where hard work is rewarded, and dreams can become a reality. I appreciate the countless doors that opened for me, the chances I was given, and the unwavering support of those who believed in my potential. To all those who stood by me, believed in me, and influenced my path, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's the collective efforts and shared moments that have shaped the person I am today. Here's to the next chapter, filled with gratitude, growth, and the unwavering belief that the best is yet to come! -Maggie
