Redfin Presidio Heights · rolling three months ending September 2026. Rounded source values stay rounded. View source ↗
Competition is running hot.

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 2026 | 1,970 | 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.
87.3% 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.
Presidio Heights competition does not replace a luxury comparable set.
Local evidence: The Redfin transaction median is up 38.2% year over year. Price per square foot is up 59% year over year. The snapshot reports 15 median days on market. The sale-to-list ratio is 118%. These are All Home Types figures; the competition score has its own window.
Our view: A high competition score can coexist with a small and varied closing cohort. We would compare the property with similarly sized and positioned homes, rather than use the median as an appraisal. Grade, outlook, renovation quality, legal area and garage access can produce substantial differences in value. Set a funding ceiling that preserves near-term capital reserves even if the offer exceeds an intentionally low asking price.

Presidio-edge access is a route to test, not a measured return.
Local evidence: SF Recreation and Parks places Presidio Wall Playground at West Pacific Avenue and Spruce Street. The library lists its Presidio Branch at 3150 Sacramento, and SFMTA publishes the 1 California route.
Our view: The park and Sacramento Street can be meaningful to daily life, but we would walk the actual crossings, grade and return from each property. Compare private garden usability and garage access separately from public-park proximity. A route or institution address does not document an appreciation or rental premium; income assumptions still need comparable lease evidence.

Price Presidio Heights capital work before counting future upside.
Local evidence: Spruce lists 3640 Sacramento Street, while The Laurel Inn’s official site places Laureate at 444 Presidio Avenue. These are verified local destinations, not evidence about a home’s condition or operating expense.
Our view: For a larger house, we would review condition reports, legal area and permits before relying on a renovation or expansion case. Carry qualified bids, contingency and financing cost separately from the purchase price. For an income-producing property, underwrite achieved rent and capital reserves with a flat-price exit, then test improvement upside as a distinct scenario rather than a guaranteed return.

Zillow data through September 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.

Walk Sacramento Street, then the Presidio-edge route.
Spruce at 3640 Sacramento, the Presidio library at 3150 Sacramento and Presidio Wall Playground at West Pacific and Spruce give a tour three distinct destinations. Connect them from the actual property. Grade, stairs, parking and entry location can make similar map distances feel very different.
A large home needs a capital plan as well as a purchase budget.
Separate the sale price from roof and exterior work, systems, insurance and any identified structural or drainage work. Review permits, legal floor area and how gardens or garages are accessed. Qualified bids are more useful than a neighborhood median when estimating the cost of improvements.
Read a luxury-market median as a mix of closings.
The Redfin page shows eight September sales. A small number of large houses can move that transaction median without establishing the return on any individual property. Compare similar houses or ownership types, then use the independently dated Zillow index as a different lens rather than averaging the measures.

San Francisco weather context.
Put Presidio Heights 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.
