Over the first five months of the year, sales amounted to $1.0 billion, 40.5 percent less than in 2021. Still, the San Francisco market remains one of the most expensive. The average price per square foot was $931 as of May, up 31.7 percent year-over-year, and significantly above the national $274. Only Manhattan had a higher average, at $967 per square foot.<\/p>\n
