Many clients have asked me lately: is my Bay Area home value moving up or down? It’s a question I hear often, and for good reason—your home is both a financial asset and a personal milestone. In August, home values actually rose across all nine Bay Area counties. San Francisco led the way with a 1.8% increase for the month, bringing the typical value up to $1.42M. That’s a 13.7% jump compared to last year, though it’s still 4.6% below the 2022 peak. Atherton, meanwhile, saw the largest city increase at 1.9%.
After more than four decades serving buyers and sellers throughout the Peninsula, I know how important it is to put these numbers in context for your specific neighborhood and situation. Real estate decisions are deeply personal, and I’m here to help you interpret what these market shifts may mean for your next step—always with your needs and concerns front and center.
