The closely matched probabilities across the $1.062M–$1.146M range reflect uncertainty over whether the San Francisco metro’s typical home value, recently reported near $1.123M by Zillow through August 2026, will hold steady or edge higher by year-end amid persistent low inventory and AI-fueled demand concentrated in core tech corridors. Elevated 30-year mortgage rates near 6.5–7% continue to constrain affordability and broader buyer participation, while limited new listings and strong sale-to-list ratios above 105% in competitive segments support modest price resilience. Recent data show year-over-year gains of 2–9% in median sale prices across the metro, driven by high-income tech wealth rather than broad volume, though some South Bay softening highlights bifurcation risks. Key near-term catalysts include any further Fed communications on rate paths and Q4 economic releases that could shift borrowing costs or employment trends in the sector.
