šŸ  Selling Your San Francisco Home in 2025? Here’s What You Need to Know

October 2, 2025

Thinking about selling your home in San Francisco? You're not alone and you're right to have questions.

 

The market in 2025 isn’t what it was a few years ago. We're in a more balanced, strategic era of real estate. It’s no longer just about putting your home on the market and waiting for the offers to pour in. Today’s market requires nuance, preparation, and a savvy plan—and that’s where I come in.

 

Let’s walk through what’s happening now and how I help sellers like you maximize your results.

 

šŸ“‰ "Is the San Francisco market down?"

It’s more accurate to say the market has corrected. We’re not in the frenzy of 2021 anymore, but we’re also not in a crash. Here’s what we’re seeing:

  • Buyers are active, but selective. They're willing to pay for quality homes, but they're not overbidding for homes that feel overpriced or underprepared.
  • Homes that are priced and marketed well are selling. Others sit.
  • Interest rates are still influencing buyer budgets, meaning pricing strategy is more important than ever.
  • Presentation is everything. Buyers expect move-in ready or it will be deeply discounted. There’s not much middle ground.

 

😟 Common Seller Concerns Right Now

1. “Will I get the price I want?”

That depends on how your home is positioned. I’ll help you:

  • Analyze the most relevant comps
  • Understand what buyers are prioritizing in your neighborhood
  • Make smart, ROI-driven updates or staging choices that add value
  •  

2. “Do I have to spend a fortune prepping my home?”

Not necessarily. I offer a pre-sale strategy that prioritizes impact over expense. I’ll help you decide where to invest (and where not to) so you’re only spending money that earns you more on the sale.

 

3. “What if my home doesn’t sell?”

Homes that are overpriced or under-marketed are sitting. I make sure yours doesn’t. My listings are backed by:

  • Strategic pricing
  • Custom marketing campaigns
  • Hands-on listing prep
  • And continuous feedback analysis so we stay agile, not stuck
