What It Means For You

For buyers

Character and walkability keep demand high; move quickly on well-priced bungalows. With supply around 3.3 months and homes going near 96.8% of list, come in fully pre-approved and ready to move.

For sellers

Strong buyer demand for character homes — prep and price to the recent trend. Priced right, North Park homes are selling close to ask in about 16 days.

Outlook & What to Watch

Inventory

Supply is running around 3.3 months. As long as listings stay scarce, prices hold firm; a rise in inventory would be the first sign of easing.

Mortgage rates

Rates sit higher than a year ago — the main headwind on demand. A meaningful drop would likely bring buyers off the sidelines fast.

Sub-markets

North Park (92104) blends classic Craftsman bungalows, newer condos and townhomes, and the University Heights edge. Sub-area breakdowns coming.

Read the trend, not the month

North Park is a smaller market, so a single month's median can spike or dip. Weigh the multi-year trajectory over any one data point.
