How this is measured
Figures summarize asking prices on listings that were active in San Francisco during the last 180 days, counted once per unit. Listings from a classifieds source whose room shares and sublets carry whole-apartment bedroom counts are excluded in this market, because they pull neighborhood medians far below the market rate.
RentReboot removes bedroom groups with fewer than 5 observations from this report. Figures are a point-in-time market summary and can move as listings appear or disappear. Read the rent-data methodology or inspect recent San Francisco listings.
