Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Duveneck/St. Francis real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Duveneck/St. Francis currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 5 indicating a modest advantage for homeowners listing their properties. Low inventory of just 2 homes and 5 new listings in February 2026 helps explain this tilt, even as buyers have some room to negotiate with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.98.
Prices show notable strength, with a typical home value around $4,475,000, up about 17 percent year over year and more than 19 percent month over month. Compared with Palo Alto as a whole, where typical values are closer to $3,208,000 and down more than 16 percent annually, Duveneck/St. Francis is holding up much more firmly.
Conditions on the ground feel mixed for both sides, as homes spent a median of 44 days on the market in February and about half of sales closed above the asking price. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected near $4,837,500 with inventory still around 2 homes, while the projected median list price of about $2,378,000 suggests some sellers may price more conservatively, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find an agent who understands these shifts.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Gina Bocage is an outstanding realtor! She is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about her clients. She made the entire buying/selling process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate professional.”
“Jim was the first realtor we worked with who actually felt like he was on OUR team - he is very experienced, reliable and the right amount of proactive. Ultimately, Jim helped us buy our very favorite house we saw - and helped us actually get a deal and not overpay, which was important to us (and very hard to do in the bay area!). Throughout the process, Jim also proactively sent us listings which were a great match for what we were looking for. In terms of actually getting the transaction done, Jim is clearly extremely experienced and was very helpful and professional at every step. He is also hyper responsive and reliable, which we really appreciated, and even helped us close over the holidays. Thank you Jim!”
“We worked with Payal to purchase our home in the Bay Area and our experience was fantastic. Payal is a great communicator and was always quick to respond to texts, phone calls, and emails for any questions we had. Although we were already familiar with the home purchase process, she was always available to answer any questions we had. She helped us view several homes until we found the perfect one for us and was always available when we needed her. She did a great job negotiating on our behalf during the entire purchase process and we always felt she had our back. Overall we really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to all our friends, family, and neighbors! Thanks Payal!”

“We are so grateful to have had Amy Thomas as our realtor along with Alex Pallios our loan officer. Amy from the beginning was very friendly, patient, and compassionate. She worked extremely hard to get us that dream home that we have always wanted. She fought tooth and nail to counter our offers & she won!! We were so grateful for an awesome experience throughout this whole home experience process. This was a great experience and we will be sure to refer to our friends and family. They truly made the process go smooth and helped us move out in just a little over 30 days!”
“I am a first time homebuyer. I am a single woman that was very scared to take this leap and buy a house alone. Chris was ALWAYS available for all of my questions. I could talk to him in the evenings, mornings, and even on weekends. Whenever I wanted to see a property, Chris MADE IT HAPPEN! He took the time to walk me through complicated documents at my pace. Chris is very experienced and good at negotiations. He was able to get 2 major repairs done at the property at the Seller's expence!”
“Phat is attentive beyond the call of duty. He was always transparent and clear in his guidance. Highly recommended!!”
“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”
“Mr. Holland was very goal oriented and practical. He allowed us to choose amongst three plans and provided some of the best crews to complete that plan. He wasn't a hands-off agent but actually got his hands dirty to help out. It shows he enjoys what he does and gives his best. Anyone who works with him would not be disappointed. Thrilled he took us on.”
“Matt was very professional and personable. He was attentive to all my questions and took care of the "little things" diligently. He was also a great resource for the technicalities of the moving process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy.”
“You recommended 2 agents, both of whom contacted me but Tyron did so within a few hours and we hit it off and he got the job. Thank you for the excellent recommendation!”
“It was a pleasure to deal with Louis in regards to the sale of my property.”
“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”
“Wonderful experience!! They were experienced and professional and prompt!!”
“Chuck was a complete pleasure to work with! We have made a new friend!”
“I was referred to a friendly and competent realtor who got me the results I wanted! ”
“We just bought our first home. I had no idea where to find a realtor to work with. I'm so glad I found Agent Pronto. They put me in contact with Liliana who is amazing! I would highly recommend this service to anyone!”
“We felt Paul Kaplan Group appeals to people who are interested in mid-century design, and would attract those people to our property. Stephanie was given high praise by some friends of ours who had recently bought and sold property with her. Stephanie was terrific, very proactive in keeping us informed every step of the way, always very responsive to any questions we had. We are extremely pleased with the results she got for us! I wish we could give her a higher rating than excellent, she really exceeded expectations in all the categories above.”
