Redfin West Portal · 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.

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.
77.6% 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.
West Portal’s overbids need a ceiling independent of the list price.
Local evidence: The Redfin transaction median is down 11.2% year over year. Price per square foot is up 23.5% year over year. The snapshot reports 12 median days on market. The sale-to-list ratio is 138.6%. These are All Home Types figures; the competition score has its own window.
Our view: A lower transaction median alongside a higher price per square foot and a 138.6% sale-to-list ratio is a reason to inspect the mix of closings. We would compare similar houses and legal floor area before assigning a premium to an asking price. Prepare the lender and disclosures early, then hold back appraisal-gap cash and repair reserves. An aggressive list-price strategy does not establish the property’s appraised value.

Test the West Portal platform and village loop together.
Local evidence: SFMTA lists West Portal Station on the K Ingleside route and documents station-area public-space improvements. SF Public Library places West Portal Branch at 190 Lenox Way. These are actual route anchors, not a commute-time guarantee.
Our view: Walk from the property to the correct station entrance, library and avenue stops, including the return with groceries. Check the current street layout and vehicle access rather than rely on old listing photos. We would compare the usefulness of transit with the real cost of parking and garage maintenance; proximity to rail alone does not establish a rental premium.

West Portal additions need records and a separate capital budget.
Local evidence: West Portal Playground is at Ulloa and Lenox, while Trattoria Da Vittorio lists 150 West Portal Avenue and Unwine’d lists 9 West Portal Avenue. The public playground does not establish a home’s private outdoor rights.
Our view: For a house, confirm the legal status of lower-level rooms, permits, garage access and the condition of major systems. Price any addition or reconfiguration with qualified bids, approvals and carrying costs. For a rental property, test current income after management, maintenance, insurance and financing before giving value to future improvements. The base case should remain credible without appreciation.

Walk the village and the station as one route.
West Portal Branch Library at 190 Lenox Way, the playground at Ulloa and Lenox and the avenue’s restaurants make useful tour stops. SFMTA lists West Portal Station on the K Ingleside route. Walk between those destinations and the specific house, then test the return trip at the time you travel.
A high overbid and a lower median can coexist.
The September transaction median is down year over year, while price per foot and sale-to-list are higher. That combination calls for matching house size and condition rather than applying one headline change to every home. The 12-month competition score is separate from the three-month transactions.

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.
