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.

Selling in Pacific Heights, San Francisco

Long-tenure owners in Pacific Heights hold some of the city's most appreciated real estate assets. Prop 13 assessed values, capital gains exposure, and 1031 exchange timing are the primary strategic considerations before bringing a property to market. Adrian works with sellers to model net proceeds, optimize timing around buyer pool cycles, and — where appropriate — leverage off-market positioning to protect privacy and pricing leverage.
