Pacific Heights · San Francisco

More than 500 homes sold over 21 years. All of that experience now works for one neighborhood: the one I live in.

I'm Jeremy Higgins — Pacific Heights resident, Compass broker associate, and author of The Pacific Heights Report, a monthly letter I write because I got tired of market summaries that could have been written about anywhere.

What the Pacific Heights market is doing right now

Updated August 1, 2026 · data through July 2026 · Compass August 2026 Market Outlook & NorCal MLS

At the end of July there were three active single-family listings in Pacific Heights, all priced above $3 million, and exactly one sale closed during the month, at $11.1 million. In a neighborhood of thousands of households, that is not a market. It is a waiting list.

Jeremy's Take

If you have ever thought "we'd sell, but only for the right number," this is what the right number's habitat looks like. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 listings here still end without a sale — the market rewards strategy, not just timing.

Why sellers call me

Strategy, not just timing

Pacific Heights homes in the $3–6 million range sold at 112.8% of list price in a median of 11 days over the past year. Homes above $6 million sold at a median of exactly 100.0% of list. Same neighborhood, opposite strategies — and using the wrong one is the most expensive mistake I see. Here is how pricing actually works here.

Before real estate I was in law enforcement, and 21 years of open houses later I still read every room. When an imperfect offer comes in, I usually already know how the buyer feels about the house. That changes a negotiation.
