Redfin Alamo Square · rolling three months ending September 2026. Rounded source values stay rounded. View source ↗

The trend behind the headline.
Rolling three-month periods. Dashed segments compare endpoints across unobserved months, not a measured monthly path. Approximate prior-year points are derived from Redfin’s rounded year-over-year change.
| Period ending | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| September 2025 | ≈ 765 | Derived from YoY change |
| September 2026 | 1,200 | Redfin reported (rounded) |
Snapshot history begins with September 2026 and grows with verified updates. Missing observations are never filled with invented values. A neighborhood median does not track the same homes over time.
49.9% of sales were above list in the source snapshot. Asking prices reflect a listing strategy, so a premium to list is not automatically a premium to fair value.
San Francisco Real Estate Company Perspective
Our analytical view · Not a valuation or forecast
Local context checked . Market figures use the report period above. Local sources do not measure an amenity’s effect on prices or rents.
Alamo Square’s higher median does not erase the slower sales pace.
Local evidence: The Redfin transaction median is up 52.4% year over year. Price per square foot is up 56.8% year over year. The snapshot reports 32 median days on market. The sale-to-list ratio is 108.7%. These are All Home Types figures; the competition score has its own window.
Our view: The source shows a large median-price increase alongside longer days on market and a thin sales cohort. We would examine the transactions behind those measures before treating the headline gain as momentum for a particular home. Separate a park-facing house from a condo or TIC, compare legal area and condition, and use property-specific financing and capital bids to set the ceiling.

A walk to Alamo Square should include the entrance you will use.
Local evidence: SF Recreation and Parks lists Alamo Square at Hayes and Steiner and identifies its accessible entrance at Hayes and Scott. SFMTA maintains the 24 Divisadero route; the library lists Western Addition at 1550 Scott.
Our view: Compare the actual park route, grade, transit stop and daily errands from the home. We would price a useful outlook separately from access and private outdoor rights. An attractive park or restaurant corridor does not by itself establish a rental premium, so test achieved rents and comparable building costs before including additional income in the acquisition model.

Alamo Square renovation upside starts with the parcel records.
Local evidence: The city’s park page describes Alamo Square and its facilities, while SF Planning provides an address-based permit map. Redfin’s Alamo Square geography is distinct from its separately named Historic District area.
Our view: We would check the parcel’s actual historic status, permits and legal unit configuration before underwriting added area or a major exterior change. Price qualified bids, approvals, carrying costs and sale costs separately. A rental base case should stand on existing legal income and realistic operating reserves; a neighborhood label or a restored facade is not proof that a proposed conversion will be approved.

Zillow data through August 2026. Its modeled value index differs from a median of homes that sold. Neighborhood boundaries, property coverage, and methods also differ. We do not average the two sources or treat their difference as a discount.

A park-facing address and a usable entrance are separate features.
Alamo Square’s official page identifies its accessible entrance at Hayes and Scott. Tour the connection from the property itself, including stairs and grade, rather than assuming that a nearby park makes every route easy. Compare actual outlook and interior light at different hours.
Use Divisadero as a corridor, not a statistical boundary.
Nopa lists its address at 560 Divisadero Street. The 24 Divisadero and the Western Addition library provide other routes to test during a property visit. These destinations are local context; the Redfin Alamo Square area is a separate provider definition and is not the Alamo Square Historic District dataset.
Keep period details and capital work on different worksheets.
A restored facade can coexist with roof, exterior or shared-system costs. Review permit history and whether planned changes require historic review for the actual parcel. For an investment building, calculate current net income and capital needs before assuming that a park view or a renovation will produce a particular return.
Research the neighborhood from the source.
Use these official resources to check transit, public places and property details. An address or route does not establish a rent or resale premium.

San Francisco weather context.
Put Alamo Square visits in context with city rainfall and regional sky conditions. Check the actual home in morning and afternoon light.
Rainfall and temperatures come from NOAA’s San Francisco Downtown station. Fog and sky conditions come from SFO and are regional context only. Neither station measures the featured neighborhood’s block-by-block microclimate; airport fog days are not neighborhood fog days.

Sources, definitions and limits +
- Rainfall and temperature source: NOAA NCEI San Francisco Downtown, USW00023272 ↗, at 37.7705, −122.4269. These are city station readings, not measurements at an individual home. We sum the daily precipitation records and count days with at least 0.01 inches. The precipitation variable includes any liquid-equivalent frozen precipitation.
- Daily values retain NOAA’s station observation dates. An observation day can end at a station’s reporting time; we do not relabel it as a midnight-to-midnight Pacific measurement. Trace precipitation is marked “Trace.” Missing or quality-flagged precipitation rejects a monthly update; incomplete temperatures remain unavailable.
- Fog and sky source: National Weather Service CLMSFO, archived by Iowa Environmental Mesonet ↗. The source’s fog, fair, partly cloudy and cloudy counts are kept as reported. Fog can occur during part of a fair-weather day, so fog is not an additional mutually exclusive sky category. We do not convert fair days to measured sunshine hours or add them to fog counts.
- These are free public weather records. Our summary and chart are independent of NOAA and Iowa State University. No affiliation or endorsement is implied. NOAA usage information ↗ · IEM usage information ↗.
- Weather periods and source timestamps are separate from the rolling Redfin market window. Monthly updates retain the previous verified month if either source is delayed. These stations cannot establish a specific home’s sunlight, fog, moisture condition or investment return.
Sources, timing, and what to watch.
Redfin neighborhood metrics use rolling three-month windows. Adjacent periods overlap. Small samples and the mix of properties sold can move medians sharply. All home types is not a condo-only or multifamily investment series. The competition score uses its own stated window.
Refresh policy: the day after Redfin’s monthly Housing Market Tracker release, once a newer neighborhood period is verified. Source delays retain the previous report. An unavailable release timestamp is left blank; the calendar is not evidence that a neighborhood has updated.
Initial trend comparisons use the reported year-over-year change to derive approximate prior-year endpoints, not a downloaded monthly history. Verified monthly snapshots accumulate over time. Source revisions can change a previously reported figure.
