It is better than renting an apartment, which was better option, but with decline of prices, it is making it affordable for those who have cash.
The average sale price of San Francisco condominiums is between $400,000 to over a $1,000,000. In recent years many new condo developments have gone up in places like Sea Cliff, Sunset, and St Francis Wood.
