  • San Francisco Real Estate Market Update | August 2026
    Sep 22 2026

    The San Francisco market has been pretty interesting to watch as Amanda Martin and Ying He head into fall. There’s still very little inventory, some homes are moving incredibly quickly, and they’re seeing strong demand in certain parts of the city.

    In the latest episode of The Bay Insider, they talk through what they’ve been seeing this summer from single-family home prices and the condo market to rising rents and what that could mean for buyers looking at condos or other types of property.

    They also get into who is buying at the higher end of the market and some of the changes they’re seeing in where people want to live. Neighborhoods like Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Cow Hollow, the Marina, Russian Hill, and Telegraph Hill have been getting more attention, while areas like Mission Bay and Dogpatch are seeing renewed activity too.

    They also talk about Candlestick, new housing, and a few of the things they’ll be watching as they move into the fall market.

    If you’re thinking about buying or selling in San Francisco, I hope the conversation gives you a better sense of what’s happening right now.

  • San Francisco Real Estate Market Update | June 2026
    Jul 23 2026

    San Francisco's housing market continues to surprise, and this month there's a lot to unpack.

    In this episode, fellow BarbCo Real Estate Group agent Jaime Watson (East Bay/SF) stood in for Ying who is currently on medical leave, to talk through what they're seeing across the city, from the remarkable number of homes selling well above asking price to the continued impact of limited inventory and strong buyer demand. They also discuss why the tech and AI industries are continuing to shape the market, even as we move into what is typically a quieter summer season.

    The conversation takes a closer look at what's happening across single-family homes, condominiums, and luxury properties, including which neighborhoods are seeing the strongest appreciation and how the condo market is finally showing encouraging signs. They also compare what's happening in Marin and the East Bay, touching on how insurance concerns, wildfire risk, and local market conditions are influencing buyers' decisions.

    Along the way, they highlight a standout Glen Park sale, talk about how today's inventory is affecting both buyers and sellers, and explore California's evolving ADU laws, including what they could mean for homeowners considering adding value to their property.

    Whether you're thinking about making a move or simply enjoy keeping up with the San Francisco Bay Area market, we hope you'll join us for the conversation.

  • San Francisco Real Estate Market Update | April-May 2026
    May 20 2026

    Amanda Martin and Ying He are back with their April/May 2026 market update and spoiler: this market is still hot.

    Active inventory is down 30 to 40% year over year, buyers are out there fighting hard for everything, and the numbers? A 1,100 square foot fixer in Noe Valley listed at $1.3M, closed at $2.5M. Pacific Heights homes selling at a median of 12 days and $8M.

    The demand is also building up around Golden Gate Park, The Inner Sunset is having a moment because of that and the condo market is in full recovery for the moment.

    Whether you're a buyer exhausted from losing offer after offer, a seller wondering if now is the right time, or you're just trying to make sense of where SF real estate is actually headed. They give you the real, on-the-ground picture.
