Who buys in Pacific Heights, San Francisco?

AI-sector founders, tech executives with large RSU tranches, move-up buyers from SoMa and Mission, and relocation clients from New York and international markets. Buyers at this tier typically arrive with 30–40% down, RSU-backed liquidity, and a 60–90 day decision window.

What are Pacific Heights real estate market dynamics in 2026?

Pacific Heights maintains a consistent seller's market above $4M, with sub-30-day days on market for well-priced properties. Multiple-offer situations are common below $6M. Architectural estates above $10M transact in a smaller, relationship-driven pool where off-market access is essential.
