December Bernal Heights Single-Family Home Sales at a Glance
January 2, 2026
January 2, 2026
December in Bernal Heights was exactly what you’d expect from a holiday month on the hill: quiet, selective, and on trend for December sales. While fewer homes traded hands, the sales that did close offer some insight for homeowners tracking value and buyers planning a 2026 move.
In December we see a dramatic drop in active/new listings, meaning there's less inventory to choose from, however, the silver lining for those in the market this usually goes hand in hand with homes selling at a lower price point and an increase on days on market. Motivated sellers trying to close before the year end means there's opportunity for the discerning buyer.
