November 2025 Greater Bay Area Real Estate Market Summary
San Francisco reaches unprecedented market tightness with single-family homes hitting two-year price highs and inventory dropping over 35% year-over-year, while both property types firmly establish seller's market status.
The Bay Area experiences a dramatic "inventory overcorrection" in October, with most regions swinging from elevated summer levels to below-normal supply, driven primarily by sharp declines in new listings rather than increased sales.
Condo markets across the region face mounting pressure with widespread price declines and dramatically extended days on market, particularly in Silicon Valley where some areas see listings taking more than twice as long to sell.
The property type divide intensifies as single-family homes maintain ultra-competitive conditions with rapid sales, while condos struggle with extended market times despite favorable buyer conditions.
