While the Mark Company’s Pricing Index for new construction condominiums in San Francisco has ticked up for the first time in six months, increasing 4 percent from January to February, it remains a nominal 2 percent higher on a year-over-year basis for the second month in a row, which has steadily slipped from a 20 percent year-over-year gain in August (at which point we first reported a significant slowdown in sales).

And in terms of inventory, there are currently 666 new condominiums for sale in San Francisco, which is 6 percent lower versus the same time last year but 2 percent higher versus the month before and versus 14 percent lower on a year-over-year basis in January, with 8,700 net-new units of housing under construction in San Francisco and building permits for another 12,900 units either issued, approved or in the works.
