That underscores the region&#8217;s remarkably resilient market, largely thanks to the city&#8217;s robust tech industry, and, in recent years, its place as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/08\/04\/technology\/ai-boom-san-francisco.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">epicenter of the AI boom<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The San Francisco metro\u2019s median sale price dropped to a post-crash low of $625,000 in March 2012. By March 2026, it had climbed to $1.7 million, marking the first time the gap exceeded $1 million. Prices have continued to rise since then, reaching $1.725 million in June 2026\u2014roughly $1.01 million higher than the June 2012 median of $718,000. Homes in San Francisco are more expensive than anywhere else in the U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"datawrapper-vis-ioWqO\" style=\"min-height: 446px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" defer src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/ioWqO\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\" data-target=\"#datawrapper-vis-ioWqO\"><\/script><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/ioWqO\/full.png\" alt=\"San Francisco Home Prices Are $1M Higher Than Great Recession Floor (Line chart)\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is according to a Redfin analysis of MLS data. Because home prices are seasonal, we compare each month only to the same month in prior years (for example, June 2026 to previous Junes and March 2026 to previous Marches). So when we say March 2026 was the first time the gap exceeded $1 million, we mean it was the first March\u2014relative to March 2012, when home prices bottomed out after the Great Recession\u2014that the gap surpassed $1 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The median price in San Francisco has jumped 140% since it bottomed out after the housing-market crash, compared with a 128% nationwide and a 122% in New York City, one of the country\u2019s other hyper-expensive real estate markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Francisco&#8217;s home prices have staged a strong comeback since falling to a bottom after the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/g\/great-recession.asp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great Recession,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which was caused by the subprime mortgage crisis. The market was driven by constrained housing supply and homebuying demand fueled by high-earning tech workers in the 2010s and, more recently, an influx of wealth tied to artificial intelligence. It\u2019s worth noting that most of the price increase happened pre-pandemic and pre-AI boom, with the median sale price hitting $1.5 million in 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, the recent influx of high-paying AI jobs has driven prices up even more. San Francisco prices rose 9.2% year over year in June as demand soared and supply declined: Home sales <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/home-prices-record-high-june-2026\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jumped 23% year over year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and new listings fell 16%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Luxury Buyers Are Fueling the Jump in San Francisco Home Prices<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affluent homebuyers have been leading the charge in the Bay Area. That\u2019s partly because they\u2019re insulated from elevated mortgage rates and other factors that can cause average buyers to press pause, and partly because there are simply so many wealthy tech and AI employees in the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin found earlier this year that home prices in the Bay Area&#8217;s luxury ZIP codes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/san-francisco-luxury-home-prices-chatgpt\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">soared 13.4%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the two years following ChatGPT&#8217;s launch, far outpacing every other price tier as highly compensated AI workers fueled demand for expensive homes. When OpenAI and Anthropic, two of the world\u2019s biggest AI companies, go public in the coming months, we estimate that their employees <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/openai-anthropic-housing-wealth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could hypothetically buy nearly one-third<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of all the homes in San Francisco with their combined IPO earnings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A separate Redfin analysis found that pending sales of luxury homes in San Francisco <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/luxury-housing-market-may-2026\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">skyrocketed 46%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> year over year in May\u2013by far the biggest increase in the nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Soaring Prices May Leave Locals Without AI-Sized Paychecks Behind<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surge in home values has been a windfall for many longtime San Francisco homeowners, and the AI boom has allowed many people who work in that industry to buy homes in the nation\u2019s most expensive market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But surging prices have also exacerbated affordability challenges. Buyers with lucrative stock compensation and high salaries can often absorb elevated home prices and mortgage rates, but many households without ties to the tech sector cannot. Overall wages have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/MHICA06075A052NCEN\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">risen 90%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in San Francisco since 2012, compared to the 140% increase in home prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result is a housing market that increasingly caters to affluent buyers, leaving many average-income earners priced out of homeownership. Homebuyers would need to earn <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/homebuying-affordability-improving-2026\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nearly $300,000 per year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to afford the typical San Francisco home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco\u2019s median home-sale price dropped to a low of $625,000 in the aftermath of the Great Recession; since then, it has risen over $1 million to more than $1.7 million.
