Candlestick Point
Homes for Sale

For nearly 50 years, Candlestick Park, within the Candlestick Point area, was a beloved landmark in San Francisco. Located on a waterfront stretch at the southeastern tip of the city, the stadium served as a cherished home for devoted fans of the San Francisco Giants and 49ers until its closure in 2013. With more housing opportunities, the area now attracts more residents, especially those looking for affordable city housing with a modern, contemporary design near the tranquil eastern San Francisco shoreline.

Candlestick Point Neighborhood Vibe

Until recently, the neighborhood was most noted for the 49ers stadium. It’s been demolished to make way for future development, leaving several large condo developments, an office park, and the Candlestick recreation area.

Popular Candlestick Point Home Styles

With only a few streets and lots of open space, Candlestick Point is mainly home to condos and just a handful of single-family homes. The condos are newer — midrises built in the early 2000s, while the single-family homes date mainly to the 1960s.

Getting Around in Candlestick Point

Car. Definitely a car. There are a couple of Muni bus lines that skirt the edges of this neighborhood, but most homes have parking for at least one car and often more. Future development in the area will likely bring increased public transportation options, but for now, you’ll need a car to get to work and shopping.

Median Sales Price

Median sales price is calculated based on sold data and doesn’t account for seller concessions. Median price represents the point at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. In smaller neighborhoods like many of those found in San Francisco, this metric is less likely to be influenced by extremely high or low sales prices that don’t represent the typical neighborhood home.

Days on Market

Days on Market indicates how quickly or slowly homes are selling in the neighborhood. The lower the days on market (DOM), the stronger the market is for sellers, all other things being equal.

Number of Active Listings

The number of homes available for sale in active status at the end of a given month. Fewer homes available for sale may indicate a seasonal trend or market dynamics that favor a seller more than a buyer.

Sales Price Compared to List Price

In strong or balanced markets, homes in San Francisco typically sell over asking. In a buyer’s market, homes will sell at list price or slightly under. If a home has had price reductions, the calculation is based on the last listed price.

Price per Square Foot

Price per square foot is most useful when the homes are almost identical in size, age, layout and other factors important to buyers. Our experience suggests it is a more valuable metric in larger condo buildings and less valuable for homes in neighborhoods built with a diverse selection of styles, sizes, and ages.
