The San Francisco multi-unit real estate market had a strong Q1 in 2020, with both transaction volumes and property values up. Our quarterly market report breaks down the market’s performance during the quarter, and offers a side-by-side comparison with the first quarter of 2019.
The sales data shown in the report reflects the market prior to the stay-at-home orders that were put into place as a result of coronavirus. We expect to see a more detailed overview of the effects of COVID-19 in the Q2 statistics to come.
