Data geography and coverage

The report uses Redfin’s South of Market geography, which is broader than some SoMa searches and can differ from the city atlas. South Beach, Rincon Hill and Mission Bay have separate reports. Price tables identify September 2026 while sale-to-list tables identify October; the October ratios and undated price-per-square-foot figures are excluded from this September snapshot.

FOLLOW THE MONTHLY REPORT

What changed since our last report?

Verified monthly tracking began with September 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. Compare the same building and unit line before using the wider South of Market median.

Test your appraisal-gap cash needs ↗

If you’re selling

The 41-day median is a planning reference, not a deadline for your listing. Put reserves, insurance, parking rights and special assessments beside the asking price. Choose an asking strategy from the property’s comparables rather than assume the neighborhood percentage applies to every home.

SAN FRANCISCO REAL ESTATE COMPANY PERSPECTIVE

The property behind the numbers.

Local context checked . Commentary is our interpretation, not a valuation or forecast.

Choose the SoMa route you will actually use.

Local evidence: Yerba Buena Gardens occupies three blocks bordered by Third, Fourth, Market and Folsom streets. Its public outdoor space is a specific destination within a much wider area.

Our view: Walk from the building to the gardens or your own outdoor destination, and test the crossings and bicycle storage. A broad South of Market median cannot price the difference between a quiet interior unit and a corridor-facing loft.

Building costs and investment considerations

Read the SoMa building budget before setting the offer.

All Home Types blends different buildings and ownership structures. The September price tables and October sale-to-list tables are not a matched snapshot.

Start with the same building, unit line and legal use. Review insurance, reserves, assessments, elevator work and any separate parking cost. A neighborhood recovery can coexist with substantial differences in monthly carrying costs.

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.
