San Francisco Real Estate Market Update – August 2018

Fortune Magazine’s recent article “The End is Near for the Economic Boom” is representative of the cautionary tone of a growing number of financial advisors, investors and economists that the expansionary economy we’ve had since 2009 is nearing its end.

Facebook’s dramatic 20% share price oneday drop (it’s still down over 17%) and Netflix’s 18% share price decrease may have injected further buyer caution in a market where prices were already showing signs of leveling off.

However, San Francisco home sales prices inched up, though condo sales prices were down slightly.
