Data geography and coverage
The report uses Redfin’s Forest Hill area in San Francisco, not Forest Hill Extension. The October calendar-month count is only four sales and is separate from the rolling median’s sample. Sale-to-list tables identify September while price tables identify October, so the September ratios and undated price-per-square-foot figures are excluded.
What changed since our last report?
Verified monthly tracking began with October 2026. This is the first recorded period, so there is no previous report period to compare yet.
The next verified period will add changes in price, selling time and sale-to-list ratio here. Year-over-year changes above are a separate comparison.
What this means for your next move.
If you’re buying
Use closely matched sales to set the price. Use closely matched house sales and budget hillside access, drainage and retaining work.
Test your appraisal-gap cash needs ↗If you’re selling
The 11-day median is a planning reference, not a deadline for your listing. Explain condition and legal area carefully because a handful of sales can move the neighborhood median. Choose an asking strategy from the property’s comparables rather than assume the neighborhood percentage applies to every home.
Build a property-specific pricing plan ↗Prepare for competition.
Redfin’s separate trailing 12-month competition window. The score is not an investment-return estimate.
Compare prices and market pace.
Bars compare available periods, not a measured monthly path. A prior-year bar marked “calculated” is an approximation derived from the source’s rounded year-over-year change. A line chart appears after three consecutive verified monthly observations.
| Period ending | Value | Basis |

Verified tracking begins with October 2026. Missing months stay unfilled. A transaction median does not track the same homes over time.
The property behind the numbers.
Local context checked . Commentary is our interpretation, not a valuation or forecast.
Walk the Forest Hill station approach in both directions.
Local evidence: SFMTA identifies Forest Hill Station as a Muni Metro stop. The station is one access point, not a promise of the same door-to-platform trip from every home.
Our view: Test the return climb with the bags, bike or stroller you expect to use. Compare the actual entrance, stairs and garage rather than the distance drawn on a map. Nearby parks are useful destinations only when the route fits your routine.
Building costs and investment considerations
Four October sales call for narrow Forest Hill comparables.
The source reports four sales for October, separately from its rolling three-month median. That count is too small to describe every house or infer a same-home return.
Match legal size, condition, outlook, garden access and garage usability. Inspect drainage and retaining elements as property-specific work. A 49% shift in the median describes a changing set of closings, so avoid applying that percentage to a home’s prior purchase price.

Reporting periods, checks and limitations
Price and selling metrics use rolling three-month windows. Adjacent periods overlap. Sales counts carry their own explicitly stated period and are not assumed to be the rolling median’s sample. A reported sales count below 20 receives an editorial small-count flag; this is a reading aid, not a statistical confidence threshold.
Refresh policy: check the day after Redfin’s monthly Housing Market Tracker release and publish once a newer neighborhood period is verified. Delays retain the last verified period. A calendar date is not evidence that neighborhood data changed.
Initial comparison bars may include approximate prior-year values calculated from reported year-over-year changes. A line chart requires at least three consecutive verified monthly observations for the selected metric and uses reported points only. Missing months are not filled.
All Home Types mixes ownership and property types. A neighborhood median is not an appraisal, a same-home return or a forecast. Local sources do not establish a measured rent or resale premium. Zillow is an independent modeled index and is never averaged with Redfin’s transaction median.
