How long a San Francisco County listing sits, September 2026
housing
The median San Francisco County listing sat 49 days on the market in September 2026, against 59 days a year earlier. Days on market is the market’s pulse rather than its price: it says how long sellers wait, and it moves before asking prices do, because a seller cuts the price only after the waiting has already happened.
The seasonal pattern is severe and it is not a trend — listings move fastest in spring and slowest in December, every year, and the only honest comparison is to the same month a year ago. Over the whole series the fastest month was 17 days (February 2018) and the slowest 91 (December 2024).
