The single-family median home prices in the Sunset District stabilized and rose after two years of decline, with median prices increasing by 3.9% and the number of sales by 11.9% in 2024. Prices were pretty stable throughout the year as the Feds kept the interest rates steady, except for two quarter-point decreases later in the year. The Sunset Home Sales Comparison Table shows the results in 2024 as compared with prior years broken up by quarters.

However, during the two-year period of creating 20 color stencil prints (pochoirs), the title changed to “Jazz,” at the suggestion of Greek art publisher Tériade.
The latest development in the City’s ongoing struggle to deal with people living in recreational vehicles (RVs) is the San Francisco Board of Supervisors’ rejection of Mayor London Breed’s revived policy for towing these rolling shelters away.
