Jeffrey Gibson
San Francisco Brokerage Manager The fourth quarter of 2017 closed another year of steady appreciation for Bay Area housing markets. Driven by seemingly insatiable demand and limited supply, single family homes in San Francisco rose 7% over the year to a median price of $1.42 million. Listings in virtually every district spent fewer days on market, with some areas accelerating by almost 40% in Q4 compared to last year. Sotheby’s International Realty continued to lead the Bay Area market not only in the sale of fine homes, but in providing outstanding service to our clients. While we are the brokerage of reference for luxury real estate, with the highest market share over $3 million, we believe that luxury is an experience, not a price point. Our independent agents work tirelessly on behalf of every client, combining their outstanding expertise in local neighborhoods with the power of our global network extending to 21,000 offices in 69 countries. This combination can produce record results, like our sale of a Pacific Heights mansion listed at $40 million that was the most valuable home ever sold in San Francisco. But our success extends to every corner of the market, giving us the highest market share of condo sales in the City as well as the highest average price for single-family homes. As we move into 2018, the Dow stands above 25,000 in one of the longest bull markets of recent decades, while financing remains affordable by historical standards. The new tax bill passed in December and ongoing changes to net neutrality, cannabis enforcement and other issues central to California’s economy will also play a role in our rapidly evolving marketplace. In this dynamic environment, our core focus on exceptional service is more relevant than ever. If Sotheby’s International Realty may be of service to you in the sale or purchase of property in the Bay Area or around the world, please contact me at 415.296.2200 so I may personally introduce you to a local expert.
