Haight-Ashbury is a flats neighborhood, so its market is really a condo market. Over the trailing six months to July 2026, condos here closed at a median of $1.41M, up about 9.3% from a year ago (MLS). The single-family houses that trade are a much higher, thinner tier. Read the two separately and the picture gets clear fast.
Unless otherwise noted, all market figures in this update are from MLS data.
Named for the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets (Wikipedia), the Upper Haight is one of the most walkable corners of San Francisco, and its housing stock is overwhelmingly early-1900s Victorian and Edwardian flats sold as condos and tenancies-in-common. Over the trailing six months to July 2026, 49 homes closed at an overall median of $1.88M, but that blended figure hides a wide condo range: recent condo sales ran from $1,250,000 to $2,472,000, and the gap is almost entirely condition. The comp sets I pull in the Haight keep telling the same story. A renovated Edwardian flat and a fixer two blocks apart are not the same asset, and pricing one off the other is how buyers overpay and sellers underprice. This update breaks the neighborhood down by property type, walks the recent comps, and puts the amenity picture next to the numbers.
Haight-Ashbury by the numbers: trailing six months to July 2026
Watch the month-to-month line with a grain of salt. Haight-Ashbury closes only a handful of homes a month, so the monthly median jumps around: it ran $1,937,500 in February 2026, spiked to $2,750,000 in May, and settled at $1,578,000 in July. The trailing-six-month median of $1.88M is the more honest read of where the neighborhood sits, and the per-property-type numbers below are what you should actually price against.
What's selling: the condo comps
The condo segment is where almost all the volume is, and condition explains the spread better than any other single factor. Here is what closed recently.
At the top, 762 Clayton Street, a renovated three-bedroom flat, closed at $2,472,000 in just 7 days. Two other renovated flats moved fast and strong: 415 Ashbury Street at $1,649,375 in 5 days, and 1225 Waller Street, a renovated Edwardian, at $1,800,000 in 13 days. In the middle, 136 Clifford Terrace closed at $1,875,000 in 16 days and 1751 Page Street at $1,815,000 in 7 days, both clean two- and three-bedroom flats. The floor of the range tells the other half of the story. 20 Belvedere Street, a renovated three-bedroom, took 39 days to close at $1,500,000; 1454 Waller Street, a two-bedroom carrying a fixer condition flag, closed at $1,294,000; and 642 Clayton Street sat 81 days before closing at $1,250,000. Move-in-ready flats here are clearing in the low double digits of days, while anything needing work waits longer and trades at a discount. I have watched this pattern hold block by block in the Haight, and it is the single most useful thing to know before you write or price an offer here.
Location, walkability, and transit
This is one of the most walkable places in the city, with a 97 Walk Score and a 76 Transit Score. The commercial spine along Haight Street between Masonic and Stanyan puts groceries, cafes, and restaurants within a few minutes on foot, from the Pork Store Cafe and Amal's Deli to the Ben & Jerry's on the famous Haight-Ashbury corner. Transit is dense: Muni's 7 Haight-Noriega, 43 Masonic, 33 Ashbury-18th Street, and 6 Hayes-Parnassus lines all run through the neighborhood, with 23 stops inside a short walk of its center. The everyday texture is part of what buyers are paying for: the Counterculture Museum and Saint Agnes Roman Catholic Church anchor the blocks near the corner, while newer spots like Wildwonder and Mary's sit alongside decades-old fixtures. In my experience, this car-optional walkability is the single amenity that most reliably holds Haight-Ashbury values through softer stretches, because it is something no amount of renovation elsewhere can manufacture. The map below plots the transit and the landmark cluster around the Haight-and-Ashbury intersection.
The housing stock skews old, which is part of the appeal and part of the homework. Per US Census ACS figures, the median year built in the neighborhood core is 1938, so most flats are Edwardian or Victorian, with the charm and the maintenance profile that come with a building near a century old. For a comparably walkable, flats-heavy market a few blocks west, our Cole Valley buyer's guide is a useful companion read.
What to consider before you buy or sell
The Haight rewards buyers who read the details and punishes anyone treating one median as the whole market. Three tradeoffs matter most.
Condition drives price more than address
The recent condo range from $1,250,000 to $2,472,000 is mostly a condition story, not a location story. A renovated flat like 762 Clayton at $2,472,000 and a fixer like 1454 Waller at $1,294,000 sit in the same neighborhood, a spread of nearly $1.2M that has far more to do with kitchens, systems, and finish level than with the address. Budget realistically for the work if you buy the discount, and get a contractor's read before you assume the renovation math pencils out. If you are selling a turnkey flat, do not anchor to a fixer comp, and if you are selling a dated one, price to what it is rather than to the renovated sale down the street.
The single-family and small-multi segments are thin
The single-family median of $4.90M sits on very few sales, so treat it as a high-end signal, not a reliable benchmark. The same caution applies to the two-to-four-unit building sales, which close so infrequently here that any one quarter's number swings hard. When a segment is this thin, the last one or two sales are the comp set, and sometimes you look back further than six months to price honestly.
Old buildings mean real diligence
With a median year built of 1938 (US Census ACS), most flats here are Victorian or Edwardian, and many are structured as condos or TICs within a converted building. Read the HOA or TIC documents, the reserve study, and any shared-systems agreements before you write an offer. A TIC and a condo of the same size price differently and finance differently, which is why the $1.48M TIC median and the $1.41M condo median are separate numbers.
What's driving the numbers
Two forces sit behind the Haight's mid-2026 market. The first is financing cost: the 30-year fixed averaged 6.66% the week of July 30, 2026 (Freddie Mac PMMS), and rates in the mid-6s keep buyers disciplined, which is why condition-challenged flats wait while turnkey ones sell in days. The second is the citywide condo recovery. San Francisco condos, the segment that lagged for years, have been firming through 2025 and 2026, with roughly half of city condo sales closing over the asking price in October 2025 (The San Francisco Standard). Haight-Ashbury's roughly 9.3% year-over-year condo gain is this neighborhood's version of that broader turn. For the citywide context behind it, see our San Francisco market update.
What to watch through the fall
San Francisco runs two selling cycles, spring and a shorter fall window from late August through Halloween, and the fall is the next test for the Haight. I would watch three things. First, whether the renovated-flat premium holds: the fast, over-median sales this year have almost all been turnkey, and if buyers keep paying up for finish quality, sellers of dated flats will need to price to the discount or renovate before listing. Second, rates: with the 30-year fixed at 6.66% (Freddie Mac PMMS), any move lower would pull more condition-flexible buyers back in, and that is exactly the segment sitting out right now. Third, inventory: the neighborhood closes so few homes a month that one or two extra listings can swing the median, which is why I read the trailing-six-month figure and not the monthly print. If current patterns hold, condition-adjusted pricing stays the whole game in the Haight. None of that is a forecast you should bet a purchase on without your own comps.
How much does a home cost in Haight-Ashbury in 2026?
In 2026, a Haight-Ashbury condo closed at a median of $1.41M over the trailing six months to July (MLS), which is the number most buyers should anchor to since the neighborhood is condo-dominated. Recent condo sales ranged from $1,250,000 for a fixer to $2,472,000 for a renovated flat. TICs closed at a $1.48M median, and the handful of single-family houses trade far higher on thin volume.
Is Haight-Ashbury a good place to buy in 2026?
As of July 2026, Haight-Ashbury suits a buyer who wants walkability and period architecture and is willing to read condition carefully. The neighborhood earns a 97 Walk Score, condos closed at a $1.41M median over the trailing six months, and move-in-ready flats sold in as few as 5 to 7 days (MLS). The tradeoff is an aging Victorian and Edwardian building stock that demands real diligence.
Are Haight-Ashbury condo prices going up in 2026?
Yes, and it is measurable: as of the trailing six months to July 2026, the Haight-Ashbury condo median of $1.41M is up roughly 9.3% year over year (MLS). That tracks the citywide condo recovery, where roughly half of San Francisco condo sales closed over the asking price in October 2025 (The San Francisco Standard). The rise is real, but with only a handful of monthly sales the month-to-month numbers stay jumpy.
How fast are homes selling in Haight-Ashbury in 2026?
As of the trailing six months to July 2026, Haight-Ashbury homes closed in a median of 15 days (MLS), but the average hides a split. Renovated flats moved in 5 to 13 days, while a fixer and a dated unit took 81 days and 39 days respectively. Condition, not the calendar, is what sets the pace here.
What kind of homes are for sale in Haight-Ashbury?
As of 2026, Haight-Ashbury is overwhelmingly early-1900s Victorian and Edwardian flats, most sold as condos or tenancies-in-common, with a median year built of 1938 (US Census ACS). Single-family houses are rare and expensive, at a $4.90M median on thin volume over the trailing six months (MLS). Buyers here are mostly choosing among two-to-three-bedroom flats.
Is Haight-Ashbury walkable?
As of 2026, Haight-Ashbury earns a 97 Walk Score, rated a Walker's Paradise, and a 76 Transit Score for excellent transit. The Haight Street commercial corridor puts daily errands within a few minutes on foot, and Muni's 7 Haight-Noriega, 43 Masonic, and 33 Ashbury-18th Street lines connect the neighborhood across the city. It is one of the few SF neighborhoods where most residents rarely need a car.
