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 2 includes
The DataSF SFAR geographic edition used for this map includes Central Sunset, Golden Gate Heights, Inner Parkside, Inner Sunset, Outer Parkside, Outer Sunset, Parkside. The shapes are simplified for orientation. A boundary address needs current MLS classification; the map does not replace that lookup.
Start with the Inner Sunset neighborhood guide and the Outer Sunset neighborhood guide, then compare the actual routes, property records and ownership type that fit your plans.

| Average MLS days on market | 17.8 days |

Owner-supplied closed-sale summary for October 2025–September 2026. Price is an all-types transaction median, not a house-only value or appraisal. Implied escrow is an approximate residual and was not directly measured. Asking-price reference convention is unspecified.
How houses and shared-building purchases differ
| Cohort | Median days | Average days | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-family houses | 29 | 35 | 317 |
| Condos / TICs / co-ops / townhomes | 32.5 | 49.3 | 32 |
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 account for 317 of the 354 district sales. Their 29-day median is close to the overall median, while the 32-sale condo group has a 32.5-day median and a 49.3-day average. The reported all-types average sale-to-list ratio was 131.9%, so a short observed timeline came with strong results relative to asking prices.
| Source label | Median days | Average days | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunset District | 29 | 36.4 | 349 |
Labels and district assignments are retained from the supplied summary. Some labels occur under more than one district. These rows are not used to define the map or assert current geographic boundaries. *Fewer than 30 sales.
If you are buying here
Use closed-sale evidence to establish the likely price range before interpreting a low asking price. Compare the legal layout, lower-level use, garage access and actual outdoor area. Have the lender explain the remaining property and appraisal steps before choosing offer terms.
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
A fast district is still a collection of individual homes. Finish inspections and records before launch, review pricing against similar completed sales and make it easy for buyers to investigate the house. A district median does not compensate for an incomplete package or an asking price that misses the 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 1: Richmond & Sea Cliff, District 3: Lakeshore, Oceanview & Ingleside, District 4: West of Twin Peaks. 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 2?
The supplied all-types cohort had a 29-day median and a 36.3-day average from MLS listing to closing, across 354 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.
