The Upsurge in the San Francisco Real Estate Market

The commercial real estate scenario in San Francisco is on an upsurge and is flourishing to say the least. Whether, it is residential real estate market of the Silicon Valley or the real estate market up north that is more commercial in its essence, San Francisco is witnessing an astonishing boom in the real estate scenario as the realtors bask in the glory of this boom. This period of great prosperity is manifested in the city's skyline that is typified with the silhouette of monstrous cranes. It's true that numbers speak for themselves. 

Guess the number of licenses granted for cranes during the time period between the year 2009 and 2011. Let me help you, thirteen. Only these many permits were granted for cranes during those two years by San Francisco's administrative authorities. Now take another guess for the number of licenses permitted for cranes between the year of 2012 and the present day. You will be astonished to know the number. The city's administrative authorities sanctioned an astounding number of eighty seven permits for cranes after 2012, till now.

These cranes are deployed for the purpose of constructing office buildings where the current rental charges on an average are around 64 USD per square foot. This rent is almost twice the national average rent. This particular fact states a lot in itself about the real estate scenario of San Francisco.The situation was not always as rosy as it is now. In the year of 2010, the real estate market of this city went through a terrible period of low and decline. The market was highly fickle and shaky. Nevertheless, since that time the property prices have soared up by almost ninety percent.

Such a steep ascend of the real estate prices might also imply the formation of a bubble, but not according to the realtors of San Francisco who have immense belief in the longevity of this period of prosperity. They find significant credence in the ability of the current real estate market to sustain for a long period of time. The belief somewhat stems from the strong position of real estate in Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley is the source of this prosperity if the realtors have to be believed. The technical industry is driving this great demand for office space in San Francisco. The demand is so high that it has become increasingly difficult for the interested parties to lease an office in San Francisco, especially in the Bay Area. If the facts and figures are to be believed, the under construction office space area is around 4 million square feet and about half of this area is already pre leased.
