A MESSAGE FROM: JEFFREY G. GIBSON Senior Vice President and Brokerage Manager As 2015 came to a close, the San Francisco real estate market continued to follow the same themes as the rest of year in the fourth quarter of 2015, according to the San Francisco Multiple Listing Service. The first three quarters of 2015 were marked by a dwindling inventory and a rise in average sales price. That trend marched on throughout the city in Q4 2015, as demand continued to far outpace supply. Five years ago, the average price-per-square-foot for a SF single-family home in Q4 2011 was $488. Compare that to Q4 2015, where the average has almost doubled at $828 per-square-foot. The average price-per-square-foot for a SF condominium has also grown significantly, with the average at $591 per-square-foot in Q4 2011 to $1,006 per-square-foot in Q4 2015.

When comparing the average sales price year over year, prices again soared, according to the San Francisco Multiple Listing Service. Condominiums saw the average sales price grow 11 percent, from $1,110,360 in Q4 2014 to $1,232,400 in Q4 2015. The average sales price for a single-family home also climbed from $1,534,800 in Q4 2014 to $1,619,900 in Q4 2015, a 5.5 percent increase. Inventory was sparse throughout the City, causing the total sales of single-family homes and condominiums to fall from the prior year. A total of 619 single-family homes were sold in Q4 2015, a 5.4 percent decrease from the 654 units sold in Q4 2014. The total sales of condominiums also decreased 2.3 percent, falling from 742 units sold in Q4 2014 to 725 units sold in Q4 2015.

DISTRICTS 7 and 8
CONDOMINIUM SALES Q4 MARKET OVERVIEW
Districts 7 and 8 made a strong case that a shortage of inventory drove prices up in San Francisco in Q4 2015. This was especially evident for single family homes in the area which saw one of the largest declines in total sales and one of the biggest gains in average sales price. Total sales in the district had dropped 27.9 percent, from 43 units sold in Q4 2014 to 31 units sold in Q4 2015. The limited number of sales pushed the average sales price for a single family home up from $4,429,488 in Q4 2014 to $5,428,448 in Q4 2015, a 22.6 percent increase. Condominiums in the area also saw a drop in total sales and an increase in average sales price. Total sales of condominiums fell 11.4 percent in Q4 2015, from 211 units sold in Q4 2014 to 187 units sold in Q4 2015. The average sales price for a condominium went up from $1,333,006 in Q4 2014 to $1,413,381 in Q4 2015.

DISTRICT 9
CONDOMINIUM SALES Q4 MARKET OVERVIEW

Buyers also quickly closed deals, as a single family home stayed on the market an average of 24 days in Q4 2015. Despite total sales slightly falling in Q4 2015, condominiums were still in high demand in Districts 7 and 8. Total sales of condominiums decreased 3.5 percent in Q4 2015, with the area closing 259 units in Q4 2014 to 250 units in Q4 2015.
