What Your San Francisco Home Is Worth
Real comps and real data for your specific street, not a city-wide average. The way I told one seller we could get more, and her home sold well above asking.
What a Real San Francisco Home Valuation Means
In San Francisco, the comparable sales have to match more than the neighborhood. A TIC and a condo in the same building sell differently. A flat with a deeded parking space and one without can be far apart. A Victorian that was restored and one that was cut into small units share an address style and not much else. An online estimate sees square footage and a ZIP code. It misses most of that.
A real number comes from comps chosen for your exact type of home and a walkthrough of its condition. That's what I give every seller before we talk about listing.

I walk the property myself: the rooms, the updates, the systems, the parking, and the building. I once told an East Bay seller her home would bring more than she believed. It sold well above asking.
My number reflects what the market will support, not what feels safe to ask.
Our Valuation Process in San Francisco, What to Expect
We start with a conversation and, if you're open to it, a walkthrough. Then I pull comps for your property type in your part of the city, adjust for condition, parking, views, and outdoor space, and give you a straight number.
No obligation and no pressure to list. The full method is on how I sell a home.
Local Context & Proof for San Francisco
In San Francisco, value follows property type, condition, and parking as closely as size and neighborhood. In September 2026 the median sale price in San Francisco was $2,187,500 for single-family homes and $1,304,000 for condos and townhomes; your home's own condition and nearby sales decide where it falls (source: Bridge MLS).
Frequently Asked Questions
What affects a San Francisco home's value most?
Location and property type first, then condition, light and views, outdoor space, and parking. A permitted garage or deeded space often adds value, and a thoughtful remodel counts more than square footage alone.
Why are online estimates often off in San Francisco?
Because the city mixes houses, flats, condos, and TICs on the same blocks, and an algorithm often compares the wrong ones. Hand-picked comps for your exact type of home give a much better number.
Is a TIC valued differently from a condo?
Usually yes. TICs often sell for less than similar condos, because buyers need fractional loans and share a building under an agreement. I compare a TIC against other TIC sales whenever there are enough of them.
How much is a parking space worth?
It varies by neighborhood and building, which is why I look for comps with and without parking in your area instead of using one number for the whole city.
Which improvements pay off before selling?
Usually deferred maintenance, paint, light fixes, and anything an inspector would flag. Large remodels right before a sale rarely return their full cost.
How long is a valuation good for?
It is a snapshot. If you plan to list within a few months, I refresh it with the latest sales; if later, I update it when you are ready.

What home value looks like in San Francisco
San Francisco sits just across the Bay, a compact 7-by-7-mile city surrounded by water on three sides, its hills giving almost every neighborhood its own microclimate and its own view.
San Francisco sits just across the Bay, a compact 7-by-7-mile city surrounded by water on three sides. Its hills give almost every neighborhood its own microclimate and its own view, of the Bay, the ocean, or the skyline, which is a big part of why the city reads so differently block to block.
San Francisco's neighborhoods range from dense districts of apartments and condos close to downtown to long rows of single-family homes out toward the ocean, each with its own architecture, from Victorian flats to 1930s Sunset District houses.
- The homes
- San Francisco's housing stock is dense and varied: Victorians and Edwardians in the older neighborhoods, 1920s to 1940s row houses in the Sunset and Richmond, mid-century and modern condos in newer developments, and a large share of the market made up of condos, TICs, and multi-unit buildings rather than single-family homes.
- Why people choose it
- Whether you're weighing a San Francisco condo against a house in the East Bay, or selling a San Francisco property you've owned for years.
