A Resilient Market
Last year, the median price South Beach at this time was $1,140,000 and now it is roughly the same figure. South Beach did see a slowdown right around this time last year – healthy inventory, rising prices and mortgage rates made buyers cautious about purchasing, prompting a dramatic seasonal lull at the end of 2016. See last year’s market report here. However, as evidenced, prices bounced back when inventory scaled back earlier this year. This market dynamic refueled housing demand and sellers had the advantage to “name their price”, stabilizng prices to what we’re seeing today. Sticker shock continues to be a buyer’s Achilles heel, but it has been proven that this is a nominal concern as we see more buyers stepping up to pay the price for home ownership in San Francisco.
