District 1: Richmond & Sea Cliff. 30 median days; 273 sales. Click for the district guide.

Median listing to closing: 31 days
Average listing to closing: 43.7 days
District sample: 297

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 4 had a 31-day median from listing to closing across 297 supplied closed sales. The average was 43.7 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 4 is the West of Twin Peaks grouping. Its DataSF neighborhoods include West Portal, Forest Hill, Saint Francis Wood, Miraloma Park, Diamond Heights, Sunnyside and several smaller residential areas. The housing and ownership mix varies enough that one district-wide number needs a property-type check.

What District 4 includes

The shapes are simplified for orientation. A boundary address needs current MLS classification; the map does not replace that lookup.

How houses and shared-building purchases differ

Property-specific timing

Property-specific timing
Cohort	Median days	Average days	Sales
Single-family houses	29	36.5	258
Condos / TICs / co-ops / townhomes	64.5	91.9	38

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.

This district has the largest median gap in the supplied type table: 29 days for houses versus 64.5 days for the condo group. The condo group averaged 91.9 days across 38 sales. That is a reason to investigate the right cohort, not proof that HOA review or any single issue caused those outcomes.

If you are buying here

Separate the house search from the shared-building search. For a house, inspect access, slopes, lower-level layout and major systems. For a condo, obtain the building documents and let the lender review the project and insurance information before promising an aggressive completion date.

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

The 31-day overall median should not be the only benchmark for a condo seller. Compare the building and ownership structure with relevant completed sales, identify missing records and discuss asking strategy with a property-specific timeline. Preparation can make the buyer’s review more productive even though it cannot guarantee a sale date.

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.

Common questions

How long did homes take to sell and close in District 4?

The supplied all-types cohort had a 31-day median and a 43.7-day average from MLS listing to closing, across 297 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.
