San Francisco, CA

As we approach the expiration of San Francisco’s eviction moratorium on August 29th, there's a lot of speculation about what might happen next. The city's moratorium, one of the most extended bans in the U.S., was prolonged for an additional 60 days in June. Local officials had expressed concerns about a potential "eviction cliff" if the ban were lifted. However, recent data suggests a different story. According to a recent article, the anticipated surge in evictions might not be as severe as initially feared.

Public map of record:

The Numbers Tell a Different Story

While there are concerns about mass evictions, the city's data paints a more optimistic picture:

  • From January to July 1, only 474 eviction notices were filed in San Francisco. If this trend continues for the rest of the year, the total number of filings would be significantly lower than last year's 1,299.
  • The Financial District reported the highest number of eviction filings at 112, with a concentration on the 200 Block of Fremont Street, accounting for 96 filings.
  • Interestingly, more than a quarter of the filings (162) were for nuisance violations, while non-payment of rent, which the city's ordinance covers, accounted for only 66 eviction notices.

Comparing San Francisco to the National Trend

San Francisco's decline in eviction filings stands in stark contrast to the national trend. Data from Princeton University’s Eviction Lab revealed that eviction filings surged by over 50% in several cities in June. In comparison to 2021, when most of the U.S. was under a moratorium, eviction filings rose by a staggering 78.6%.

Final Thoughts and What's Next

The drop in eviction filings in San Francisco is a testament to the city's resilience and perhaps the effectiveness of local policies. However, it's essential to remain vigilant and proactive, ensuring that both landlords and tenants are informed and prepared for what lies ahead.

We can’t say enough about what an amazing agent Jerry is! In the roughest economic time during a pandemic he managed to sell our condo in record time (7 days to be exact) with an over asking offer. He made the entire process seamless and actually enjoyable. Professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive are just a few ways to describe Jerry! Hands down the best agent in the game!

Jerry and I first made contact on Sep 16, 2021 through email. I was ready to purchase a home, seriously this time. I was new to San Francisco so had no idea where i wanted to live. I was hoping to get an experienced real estate agent to show me the ins and outs. I was also a bit anxious because i kept hearing of the crazy bidding wars. I decided to Airbnb in different areas to figure out which area i like. And also took Jerry's recommendation of which area to try. After visiting 3 different houses (in different areas), I realized i really liked the Noe Valley/Glen Park area and decided it was a good idea to focus on that area. I found a house I really liked that I thought might be out of reach that I had visited myself. A few days later, Jerry visited too and was able to convince me that it was worth the shot. So I made an offer, I knew i had to be competitive as this house would get many offers. I ended up winning after a counteroffer! Jerry's experience was key in helping me make the optimal bid. The house was in escrow on Sep 30, 2021. It was a two week process, and my very first bid on a house (in a very competitive area). I feel like Jerry saved me a lot of time and effort.

I highly recommend Jerry Rice Jr. I credit Jerry with a smooth, stress-free home-buying experience during the pandemic. He is savvy, professional, personable and knows the SF Bay Area market inside and out. He was able to efficiently assist us with our 1031 Property Exchange, with all of the nerve wracking time constraints. There were many factors to consider searching for a property during the pandemic, but Jerry made it a comfortable and seamless process. Jerry went the extra mile to explain the contracts, and to make sure we didn’t feel rushed. We couldn’t have done this without Jerry! He was amazing in a high pressure situation, constantly in touch via phone and text nights and weekends. Whether you are buying, selling, or involved with a 1031 Exchange, we highly recommend Jerry Rice, Jr. for your real estate needs.

Jerry helped my wife and I purchase our first home in Oakland. Jerry was an excellent partner throughout the entire process. He was always responsive, gave honest feedback, and networked well with the sellers agents, which was a differentiator when bidding against competing offers. Further, in the middle of our housing search, the markets started to turn funky. Jerry helped us navigate the changing markets with confidence, and ultimately, thanks to his guidance, we secured our dream home. Despite the craziness, the end-to-end process was about as painless as buying a home in the SF bay area could be. Whether a first-time buyer, new to the Bay Area or experienced home-owner, I highly recommend working with Jerry.
