If you are wondering whether strong demand is real enough to support a sale, I would not ignore these recent signals.
Wondering if this is a smart time to put your home on the market or if you should wait for some mythical perfect week? My answer is blunt if your goal is to sell into active demand, San Francisco, CA has been giving owners a very loud green light. Recent closed numbers show 64% of all sales went above asking, which is the sort of market behavior that tends to get sellers' attention very quickly. I am speaking to the owner who wants leverage, not guesswork, because the difference between those two is usually several awkward conversations and a pile of money.
Price for attention, not ego. Prep the home so buyers do not have to imagine fixes while they are trying to imagine their future. Then watch the first week like a hawk with a spreadsheet. If showing activity is strong, hold your nerve. If it is soft, adjust quickly before the listing becomes yesterday's leftovers in a city that notices pace.
