A market overview of North side sales in San Francisco from 7/1/23-12/31/23
2023 End of Year Market Report
DEDICATED TO YOUR SUCCESS
Never has there been a better time to purchase an ultra-luxury home in San Francisco. The year 2023 favored the bold who decided to buy. I have been selling the best homes in San Francisco for 20 years, and we have come full circle. For the first 15 years of my career, any purchase over $8 million was always cash. Then came the era of low-interest rates, where it became painfully obvious that money was ‘free,’ and getting a loan was the way to purchase uber-luxury homes. Now that the rates have gone up, and the market winds have shifted, the ‘smart’ money has returned. ‘Cash is king’ rings true once more. Furthermore, the relentless media, feeding the doom loop narrative of San Francisco in 2023, dampened the enthusiasm for investing in the city. I, for one, am here to make a stand: San Francisco will continue to amaze us! To go through adversity allows for growth, and with growth comes new realities. I owe everything to this city, and in my world, every single person I know is committed to the betterment of our home. I am born and raised on the streets of San Francisco, and I see the sprouts of the next iteration of lifestyle and business. I predict an exciting 2024 real estate market. I am very busy with calls, appointments, and showings. There is a palpable energy I am feeling from buyers and sellers. It is time to get things done, and I have complete confidence in this one- of-a-kind location. The first rule in real estate will continue to hold true: location, location, location. The lifestyle here is amazing, and that will continue to be true. Get outside and see for yourself!

2023 MAJOR ECONOMIC INDICATORS • The 2023 market was characterized by high interest rates, financial market uncertainty, surprisingly strong demand (considering first two issues), and an extremely low supply of new listings - which maintained upward pressure on prices, even as housing affordability dropped. • Purchase activity was repressed due to interest rates and the inadequate supply of homes for sale, while for prospective sellers, the motivation to move was reduced by the mortgage lock-in effect. With interest rates falling and economic conditions rebounding - which should further boost buyer demand in 2024 - the big question is how much do rates have to fall for homeowners to start selling their homes in normal numbers again? • In the last 2 months of 2023, the average, weekly, 30-year mortgage interest rate dropped from 7.79% to 6.61%. • CPI inflation declined in 2023 from 6.3% in January to 3.1% in November. • After its end-of-year rally, the S&P Index was up 25% and the Nasdaq up 45% in 2023. • The number of new listings coming on market in 2023 was the lowest in decades, a dominant factor behind sales dropping to their lowest annual total since the great recession.
2024 MARKET PREDICTIONS
• “Inflation around the globe is slowing way faster than expected. If economists are right...next year [will see] inflation back to normal levels for the first time in three years.” Wall Street Journal, December 2023, • “Consumer sentiment...soared 14% in December [due to] substantial improvements in how consumers view the trajectory of inflation...All age, income, education, geographic, and political identification groups saw gains in sentiment...[2024] inflation expectations plunged from 4.5% last month to 3.1% this month.” University of Michigan, Consumer Sentiment Index, December 2023 • “The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage remained below 7%...after 17 consecutive weeks above. Lower rates are bringing potential homebuyers who were previously waiting on the sidelines back into the market...Heading into the new year, the economy remains on firm ground with solid growth, a tight labor market, decelerating inflation, and a nascent rebound in the housing market.” Freddie Mac, December 2023

SAN FRANCISCO ANNUAL SALES - $5,000,000+ NUMBER OF LUXURY HOME SALES BY YEAR, SINCE 2005*
Sales: $5 Million+
Sales: $10 Million+
199
200
Sales of higher-price homes are affected by buyer demand, the number of listings available to purchase, and appreci- ation trends - all of which are impacted by economic and demographic conditions. As appreciation occurs over time, homes that would have sold for under $5 million, then sell for over that price threshold (and vice versa if prices fall).
150
120
Though home sales of $5 million+ fell in 2023 (from the high sales volumes during the pandemic boom), $10 million+ sales were relatively unchanged from 2022 (though well down from the 2021 peak).
