As we all know, housing affordability has been a problem on a national scale for quite a few years at this point. At this point in time, many find it hard to believe that the housing market will return to pre-pandemic levels in terms of affordability at any point in the near future. Unfortunately, things have not gotten much better, as the median monthly P&I payment increased by 10.15% on a year-over-year basis, to $2,182 in the month of April. This jump in P&I payment represents a drastic month-over-month jump of 3.46%. This jump is actually quite perplexing, as median home sale prices have increased by 1.34% on a year-over-year basis, while mortgage rates have actually come down.
Median sale prices have been on the rise over the past few months in San Francisco, and there was no exception in the month of June. Single-family home median sale prices rose by 4.42% on a year-over-year basis, while condo median sale prices rose by 10.52%. Additionally, the average single-family home sells for 112% of the original listing price, while the average condo sells for a slight discount, at just 99.7% of the original listing price.
This rise in prices that we’ve seen has been fueled by a lack of new supply hitting the market. Each and every month, we’ve seen inventories slowly get bought up and seemingly taken off the market for good. In the month of June, we saw 7.87% fewer single-family homes on the market when compared to this time last year. When we turn to the condo market, we see 18.77% fewer listings on the market at the end of June.
As you might expect, given the rising prices and inventory issues that we’ve been observing throughout San Francisco, listings are being bought up incredibly quickly. The average single-family home spends just 14 days on the market, while the average condo spends 31 days on the market. These figures represent a year-over-year decrease of 6.67% in the single-family home market and no change in the condo market.
