What the Pacific Heights market looked like at the end of July 2026

Data through July 2026 · Compass August 2026 Market Outlook & NorCal MLS · not current; for newer numbers, see Issue No. 002 (data through August 2026)

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.

How pricing works here

Strategy, not just timing

From August 2025 to August 2026, Pacific Heights homes in the $3–6 million range sold at 112.8% of list price in a median of 11 days (SFAR MLS District 7B). 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.

I host my own open houses and greet every visitor. When an imperfect offer comes in, I've usually already seen how the buyer feels about the house. That changes a negotiation.
