Bay Area home prices held steady through late summer, with single-family homes in San Jose, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View still drawing multiple offers when priced well.
Where buyers have room to negotiate
San Francisco condos — especially in SoMa and Mission Bay — are sitting longer than single-family homes. That gives buyers more time, more inspection leverage, and occasionally seller credits toward closing costs.
What sellers should know
- Homes that are staged and professionally photographed still sell fastest.
- Pricing slightly under recent comps is drawing the strongest offer activity.
- Pre-listing inspections help reduce renegotiation in escrow.
