Why We Should Care About Short Sales in San Francisco

By
Real Estate Agent with Alain Pinel REALTORS BRE#00861017

As much as I HATE short sales (I'll rant another time about my "run-in" with Chase yesterday), they are here to stay in many neighborhoods in San Francisco.

 

These are statistics from March of this year. The first two columns are single-family homes and the last one is condos. What is interesting is that whereas the percentage is about the same from early- to late-March, the total number is increasing. In fact, the number of SFR short sales has increased 14% in the past 3-4 months (since early December) and has been as high as 18% of total inventory recently.

 

Let me know if you have any comments or questions.
