About San Francisco Real Estate
San Francisco's compact 49-square-mile geography, limited land, and world-class amenities create one of America's most competitive housing markets.
San Francisco Housing Market Overview
Pacific Heights and Sea Cliff exceed $5 million. Sunset and Excelsior offer $1.1–$1.5M options. Condos and TICs are a significant share of transactions, each with unique financing needs. Multi-unit properties (2–4 units) are common, offering house-hacking opportunities.
Mortgage Lending in San Francisco
Jumbo financing, TIC loans, condo project eligibility, and multi-unit lending require specialized expertise. TIC properties need non-conforming products. Understanding SF's unique property types is essential for any mortgage professional serving this market.
Self-Employed Mortgages in San Francisco
Tech, venture capital, financial services, and consulting—all with high self-employment rates. Asset-depletion strategies using liquid portfolios are common qualification methods.
Investment Property Loans in San Francisco
Rents are among the nation's highest, but rent control impacts multi-family math. ADU programs create new investment opportunities. Understanding tenant protection laws is essential.
