Redfin Lower Pacific Heights · 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 | ≈ 957 | Derived from YoY change |
| September 2026 | 1,230 | 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.
83.1% 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.
Lower Pacific Heights gains call for building-specific comparisons.
Local evidence: The Redfin transaction median is up 30.2% year over year. Price per square foot is up 28.5% year over year. The snapshot reports 22 median days on market. The sale-to-list ratio is 112.6%. These are All Home Types figures; the competition score has its own window.
Our view: The neighborhood’s faster pace and higher transaction prices justify preparing early, not applying a uniform increase to every unit. We would compare the same ownership structure, size, condition and parking rights, then reconcile the asking price with closed sales. Keep dues, insurance, near-term capital work and appraisal-gap funding in the affordability calculation.

Underwrite Mount Zion access without inventing a rent premium.
Local evidence: UCSF lists Mount Zion at 1600 Divisadero Street and describes hospital, outpatient, surgical and support facilities. SFMTA publishes the 1 California route. Neither page establishes a neighborhood rental premium.
Our view: We would test the property-to-campus or property-to-bus route at the relevant travel hours, then compare the actual rents achieved by similar units. Institutional proximity may be useful to an individual buyer or renter, but it is not a substitute for income evidence. Review parking and entrance usability alongside acquisition cost rather than assuming every nearby block offers the same experience.

A nearby park and a nearby bar are different from private amenities.
Local evidence: Alta Plaza is in nearby Pacific Heights, with a current city notice about play-area renovation. Scopo Divino lists 2800 California Street and The Laurel Inn lists Laureate at 444 Presidio Avenue, northwest of the guide area.
Our view: We would tour the destinations and current access while keeping their appeal separate from the property’s financial obligations. For a condo or TIC, examine reserve funding, exterior and elevator work where present, insurance and leasing restrictions. For a whole building, model documented income after management, capital reserves and financing; proposed upgrades should have their own cost and approval scenarios.

Zillow data through May 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.

Test California Street and Mount Zion as distinct connections.
Scopo Divino is at 2800 California, while UCSF lists Mount Zion at 1600 Divisadero. Those addresses are useful stops for a tour, not a measure of commute time or tenant demand. Test the route from the actual home to the entrance or bus stop you expect to use.
Check the park’s current status before describing the routine.
Alta Plaza is a nearby Pacific Heights destination, and its current city page reports a children’s play-area renovation through late December. The park’s hillside routes and access points differ. Review the linked city information and walk the return before assigning value to proximity.
Make the shared-building budget part of the search filter.
A condo’s monthly dues, master insurance, reserve study and planned projects can change the affordability comparison with a TIC or a house. Verify legal parking, storage and outdoor rights. For an investment property, use documented rents and net operating income before counting on demand from a nearby institution.
Research the neighborhood from the source.

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.
