San Francisco is currently experiencing a shift to a buyers’ market and red hot sale prices are starting to cool. Real estate experts believe this shift is a result of several factors: buyer fatigue, an increase in inventory, rising interest rates and over-eager sellers inflating their prices higher than even the Bay Area’s robust market can support. Buyers currently have more leverage in negotiations with sellers because of the seasonality of the market and the shift in the balance of power in the transaction.
