San Francisco was written off as dead. Now, real estate investors are flocking back.
Briefly

San Francisco's commercial real estate market is bouncing back post-pandemic, spurred by companies implementing return-to-office mandates. Apartment investors, encouraged by falling property prices (30%-50% below pre-pandemic levels) and a predicted rental increase of 4%-6%, are becoming more competitive in the city. Rents, which fell 25% during the pandemic, are now recovering, with average rents hitting around $3,200; the first quarter of 2023 saw a significant 6.4% rise year-over-year. This trend suggests a favorable landscape for investors looking to capitalize on the rebound.
San Francisco had become an unsavory city, but we believe we're starting to see a real recovery and we think it's a good time to buy.
Property values have declined 30% to 50% from their pre-pandemic highs, creating an attractive buying opportunity.
There's more people interested. It's not a secret like it was a year ago.
