Right after Thanksgiving, the numbers of new listings and of listings going into contract usually plunge to their annual lows. Still, buying and selling continues, though at reduced levels, and this can be an excellent time for buyers to aggressively negotiate prices. An increasing percentage of sellers, especially in higher price segments, pull homes off market to await the new year, or early spring. Many listings taken off market in November and December will presumably be relisted in Q1 2023.
In regards to the market and timing, here are a few thoughts to consider:
- The best selling season in San Francisco is only three months from now. Buyer activity picks up as early as February and the spring market lasts through until May. Now is the time to start planning.
- If you have long-term tenants, plan your timeline to include your 60 day notice to them.
- Interest rates going down the last couple of weeks and mortgage applications were up 2.2% last week.

Spring 2023 is the next big real estate selling season. A custom selling strategy can sell your condo for the highest price possible. Minor improvements such as new white paint and new neutral toned flooring can brighten up photos of your condo in property searches on a real estate website.
