Selling your home at a loss in San Francisco means losing a whopping $155,000
Unlike most markets where you make money when you sell your home, San Francisco is a different story. Almost one in five homes sold in the city during the three months ending Feb. 29 sold at a loss.
San Francisco also has the highest share of homes sold for less than their purchase price than any other metropolitan area—and quadruple the national figure.
Food for thought:
This is significant news for potential homebuyers and sellers in Sonoma County and surrounding areas. For those looking to buy, the drop in San Francisco's home prices might make the Bay Area more attractive, but it could also push more buyers to consider areas like Sonoma County for more affordable options.
This increased interest could drive up demand and prices in these markets, making them less affordable over time. Sellers should be aware of these potential shifts, while buyers might find new opportunities but also face more competition. Keeping an eye on these trends is important for making smart real estate decisions.

Silicon Valley luxury home market sees a massive jump amid recent AI boom
Artificial intelligence companies' explosive growth is boosting the San Francisco Bay Area's luxury real estate market.
Sales of homes priced at $5 million or more in Santa Clara County — the most populated county in the Bay Area and home to Silicon Valley — spiked in April. The median home price is nearly $1.8 million.
Food for thought:
This trend highlights the interconnectedness of the San Francisco tech industry's success and housing prices. As tech booms in the Bay Area, real estate prices will continue to rise, potentially pushing middle-class buyers to seek more affordable options in surrounding counties like Sonoma, Marin, and Alameda. As a result, these regions may see increased demand and prices with the influx of new homebuyers. For current homeowners, this could indicate a forthcoming increase in property values, but it also serves as a reminder for prospective homebuyers that it's still a good time to consider breaking into these markets.
