New Listing Watch -- fewer listings, faster sales

New listings in the last 14 days are down about 10% compared to the previous period and compared to the same period last year.  Most of the reduction is in condos (165 new listings compared to 192 two weeks ago and compared to 189 a year ago). 


The number of new single family listings that went into contract in the same two week period has increased strongly compared to the prior period (18.8% vs 13.9%).  The increase for condos was modest at 24.8% vs 23.4%.


The number of price reductions is down compared to the previous period (8 vs 11 for single family homes and 20 vs 27 for condos) and compared to a year ago (8 vs 13 for single family homes and 20 vs 29 for condos).

At the beginning of April the total number of active residential listings in the five categories we track* in San Francisco was 338 which is up about 11% compared to the same time last year but down compared to 2017 and 2016.
