Market Overview
Potrero Hill maintained its steady momentum in Q3 2025 as buyers sought sunny weather, larger lots, and proximity to Mission Bay and downtown. Median prices rose slightly in both segments, with single-family homes continuing to draw multiple offers. Condos remained stable, particularly in modern developments along 20th and 23rd Streets.
Heading into Winter 2025, low inventory and balanced demand suggest continued pricing stability. Properties with views of downtown and modern renovations remain the most sought-after and likely to sell quickly.
