Data: Closed sales October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026. Timing is MLS listing date to closing date. Owner-confirmed sample: 4,222 sales. Map boundaries use the DataSF / SFAR 2010 geographic edition.

District 10 had a 36-day median from listing to closing across 345 supplied closed sales. The average was 48.2 days. The period is October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026, and the clock includes marketing time before a buyer and seller agree on a contract.

District 10 is the southeast grouping covering Bayview, Excelsior, Visitacion Valley, Portola, Mission Terrace, Outer Mission and nearby neighborhoods in the DataSF edition. Local access, slopes, legal layout and building condition can change the buying brief substantially within the same numbered district.

*Hatching flags fewer than 30 sales. The condo group includes condos, TICs, co-ops and townhomes; other property types are excluded from the two property-specific views.

Timing: owner-supplied summary, Oct 1, 2025–Sep 30, 2026. Geometry: DataSF / SFAR August 2010 geography, simplified for display. Parks are unshaded. This is an MLS district map, not a supervisor-district map or an address-classification tool.

What District 10 includes

The DataSF SFAR geographic edition used for this map includes Bayview, Bayview Heights, Candlestick Point, Crocker Amazon, Excelsior, Hunters Point, Little Hollywood, Mission Terrace, Outer Mission, Portola, Silver Terrace, Visitacion Valley. The shapes are simplified for orientation. A boundary address needs current MLS classification; the map does not replace that lookup.

Start with the Excelsior neighborhood guide and the Bayview neighborhood guide and the Portola neighborhood guide, then compare the actual routes, property records and ownership type that fit your plans.

Single-family houses3543.2301
Condos / TICs / co-ops / townhomes60.582.344

Multi-unit and other property types are excluded from these two cohorts. *Fewer than 30 sales; interpret cautiously. Property-type totals can therefore be smaller than the all-types district count.

Houses made up 301 of 345 district sales and had a 35-day median. The much smaller 44-sale condo group had a 60.5-day median and an 82.3-day average. The source-reported neighborhood medians ranged from 31 days in Outer Mission to 46 days in Bayview, illustrating why the overall 36-day district median needs local context.

If you are buying here

Review legal living area and any lower-level or in-law space separately from the marketed room count. Test the actual trip to transit or regular destinations and compare achieved prices in the relevant ownership type. A longer shared-building timeline is a reason to investigate the building, not to assume it is a bargain.

Use the San Francisco buying checklist to organize the building and financing review. The contingency guide and appraisal-gap worksheet address risks that a fast district timeline does not remove.

If you are selling here

Build preparation around the records and work the property actually needs. Present the legal layout, condition and major systems clearly, then compare the correct ownership and neighborhood cohort. A predominantly house-based district summary can obscure a materially different condo market.

Preparation before the listing date is outside this metric. So is any separately negotiated possession period after completion. Before coordinating a purchase, lease end or move, put those milestones beside marketing and closing rather than treating one historical median as the entire plan.

Find the representative for a property with our supervisor map and directory. Civic district numbers do not correspond to MLS district numbers; confirm representation by address.

Compare the rest of the city

Return to the interactive citywide closing-time map, or compare District 3: Lakeshore, Oceanview & Ingleside, District 4: West of Twin Peaks, District 9: SoMa, Mission, Bernal & Potrero. These are different completed-sale cohorts; comparisons do not predict the closing date for the same home in another area.

Common questions

How long did homes take to sell and close in District 10?

The supplied all-types cohort had a 36-day median and a 48.2-day average from MLS listing to closing, across 345 sales closed October 2025–September 2026. The result includes marketing time.

Does the district median tell me how long escrow will take?

No. A listing-to-closing median begins before an accepted offer. The source does not directly measure contract-to-close duration. Establish a completion schedule from the actual agreement, financing and remaining transaction milestones.

Should I use the house or condo figures?

Use the cohort that matches the ownership type you are comparing. The condo group combines condos, TICs, co-ops and townhomes, while the house cohort contains single-family homes. Small samples are marked, and other property types are excluded from those two cohorts.

Methodology

Source: owner-supplied summary for San Francisco County sales closed October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026, grouped by numeric MLS district. The analysis covers 4,222 sales with numeric district assignments, matching the sum of the district table. Citywide median 34 days and average 49.6 days were supplied separately, not reconstructed from district medians. Timing equals close date minus MLS list date and includes marketing time; relistings only remain together if their listing ID is preserved. Implied escrow is the supplied difference between average list-to-close and average MLS days on market, not directly measured contract-to-close duration; the source pending-date field equals close date. Small differences in component sums reflect rounding. The property-specific table excludes multi-unit and other categories; its condo group includes condos, TICs, co-ops and townhomes. Samples below 30 are flagged. Source neighborhood labels repeat across district codes and remain labeled source-reported groups. Map geography is independently derived from DataSF’s 2010 SFAR neighborhood edition, dissolved into 10 districts and simplified; it is not a current address lookup or supervisor-district map. The source reports approximately 390 non-district or unassigned sales outside the district sample. Underlying transaction records and extraction queries were not supplied for audit. Figures describe closed-sale cohorts, not a promised completion date, current inventory or a property valuation.
