I watch SF rents like a hawk. A decent 2ba/2br is $~4200 which is lower than a year ago. Also! I am seeing apartments come on the market - that haven't been on the market in 10 years: Views, custom kitchens, 1200 sqft, parking (wtf??). A handful of listings are starting to give out 1 or 2 months free (this is because they can't lower the rent due to rent control issues). But if you are looking in SF - grab something that hasn't been on the market for a decade - these are unique treasures.
- asdff 6y agoWhat do you use to skim listings?
- gen220 6y agoNot the poster, but I do identical surfing in NYC and use Zillow. It’s all about the right filters (posted in last 24 hours, prices, neighborhoods, amenities). You can set up email updates, but it’s more tedious to read the emails than it is to browse their app. My anecdotal data in NYC is identical, btw. I used to see a great apartment maybe once a week. Now, it’s closer to 5-8 per week. And they’re all “under” priced by 10-20%. I saw a rent-controlled parlor floor brownstone in Brooklyn heights recently. It’s unreal. It’s just a bit sad to think how many of these households were lived in by actual victims of the coronavirus.

It is furnished so you can't claim rent control [not a lawyer - but they wont win]. But a true SF gem (the view is everything).
