San Francisco County Real Estate is so hot right now that in order to afford a median priced home of $1,610,000, a household needs to bring in around $333,000 in annual income, according to a quarterly survey by the California Association of Realtors.

Nearby San Mateo county isn't much better - where a $1,575,000 median priced home requires an income of $326,000.

The good news, at least for well off San Franciscans, is that more households - 15% - were able to buy a median-priced single-family home in the first quarter of 2018 vs. the fourth quarter of 2017, thanks to rising incomes which rose faster than the increase in home prices and interest rates.

Six out of nine bay area counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara) were responsible for the majority of the affordability gains, according to the CAR, while affordability decreased in two counties (Solano and Sonoma).

Statewide the situation is much more reasonable:

Thirty-one percent of California households could afford to purchase the $538,640 median-priced home in the first quarter of 2018, up from 29 percent in fourth-quarter 2017 but down from 32 percent a year ago.

A minimum annual income of $111,500 was needed to make monthly payments of $2,790, including principal, interest, and taxes on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at a 4.44 percent interest rate.

Thirty-nine percent of home buyers were able to purchase the $449,720 median- priced condo or townhome. An annual income of $93,090 was required to make a monthly payment of $2,330.

Fun fact: Property tax on the average San Francisco home is $1,593 per month - while the average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in California is $1,430 per month ($940 nationally).

Would be interesting to know the split between land alone value and of the structure; bureaucrats have been hiding land value on tax notices.

I got priced out of the ball park right away on this one. ;)

while the average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in California is $1,430 per month ($940 nationally)

It seems I am getting off pretty cheap here since my rent is $270/mo for my 1 bedroom apt.

But the City took a $55,000 hit on the water system and we all got a 20% increase in water rates this year. They really need to run it more like a business. ;)

Doing your own construction you'd need only a $100,000 for materials; Mexicans, add $50,000.

Not in SF. Everything is union. You could die doing that. For years they would not allow a McDonalds. They still don't have WalMart.

Jointly with others build on acreage/town outside SF; buy a Greyhound bus with provisions for dining if can't work on computer from home.

St Helena, Ca

1 bed 1 bath 962 sq ft

Vintage Home. Only $799,00

City is 32.9% Mexican. (Means that schools suck)

Only a 1 hr and 44 minute drive to SF. That would include a bridge toll and assumes traffic is moving.

California is gone.

Travel time is moot if you have breakfast, supper on the bus; use laptop.

A one way bus would take 3 hours.

Are McD's and Walmart famously union-proof or something?

No WalMart allowed in SF. McDonalds in the old days of unions was not allowed but is today. Today almost half of union members of government workers.
