The U.S. is currently facing significant market volatility, highlighted by the CBOE Volatility Index spiking. Nevertheless, the Bay Area's housing market has seen growth in early 2025, with increased sales and bidding activity, primarily fueled by the AI tech surge. Active listings rose markedly in the inner East Bay while San Francisco lagged behind. Home prices in San Francisco increased by 2%, and the number of home sales grew by 8.5%. However, these trends reflect a market still recovering from prior instability.
However, the benefits of this recent gold rush aren't evenly dispersed, and most sales that closed in March went into contract in February, before the major chaos ensued in the Trump administration.
As of April, listings have increased across the Bay Area, though San Francisco saw minimal growth. Active and coming soon listings are up 48% year-over-year in the inner East Bay.
