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 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.
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.
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 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.

Dolores Heights is a neighborhood in central San Francisco. It is bordered by Twin Peaks to the west, Corona Heights and Duboce Triangle to the north, Mission Dolores to the east, and Noe Valley to the south. On an SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS map, Dolores Heights is often coupled with Eureka Valley, and is identified as neighborhood 5k.
The Liberty Hill Historic District, a section of Dolores Heights, is listed as a San Francisco Designated Landmark. Within that district, the Liberty Street Historic District is a designated California Historical Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. The ten-block district showcases Victorian-era homes primarily designed in Italianate, Stick, and Queen Anne styles. The neighborhood’s houses vary in size, from modest rowhouses on Lexington and San Carlos Streets—with uniform facades and setbacks—to architect-designed residences on Liberty and Fair Oaks Streets.
Though it’s often coupled with Eureka Valley (the Castro) on the MLS map, Dolores Heights is a bit of a rarified enclave of its own, a mostly residential neighborhood on a steep hill with some of the city’s finest homes—an eclectic mix of meticulously maintained Victorians, English cottages, and modern architectural wonders. Residents have easy access to lively Dolores Park, one of the city’s most popular gathering spots, and the 18th Street commercial corridor, as well as all that the Castro, the Mission, and Noe Valley have to offer (which is a lot).
As an “already built” neighborhood, Dolores Heights is not a neighborhood where you should expect to find substantial new construction projects. Smaller developers may renovate/flip existing properties, or may take advantage of recent housing laws to add additional units to already existing housing. Transit corridors and major neighborhood streets are the most likely areas for new construction buildings in already built neighborhoods with existing housing stock.
