About these numbers
Medians over arm’s-length residential sales in public sale records tracked by SF Homes Report, deduplicated across sources and assigned to neighborhoods with our boundary map. Sales counts are the sales we have matched and dated for the period, not a census of every recorded transfer, so they are not a measure of market volume. Price per square foot uses sales with a recorded living area. Machine-readable data for this report: JSON.
