Bayview Heights Neighborhood Vibe

On the north side, it’s loud with an industrial vibe that seeps in from the industrial park section of the Bayview. On the east side, quiet streets dead end at the base of Bayview Park and the rugged lands of Candlestick Point. Third Street bisects the neighborhood, connecting it with Bayview to the north and Visitacion Valley to the south.

Single-family homes on 25′ wide lots are the standard in Bayview Heights. There are some smaller condo and apartment buildings, as well as some unit and mixed-use buildings.

Getting Around in Bayview Heights

Welcome to the land of short streets that are laid out in the farthest thing you could find from a grid. Freeway on-ramps add to the fun of navigating around this neighborhood, but if you don’t have a car you’ll find that T-Third light rail bisects the neighborhood and bus service is available as well.

Median Sales Price

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.

Days on Market

Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.

Number of Active Listings

The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.

Sales Price Compared to List Price

In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.

Price per Square Foot

Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.
