San Francisco is the most expensive housing market in the contiguous United States, with median home prices above $1.3 million. Proposition 13 limits effective property tax rates after purchase, but the sheer purchase price makes monthly payments among the nation's highest.

The 1.18% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for San Francisco and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide California average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for San Francisco buyers. Many San Francisco properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $600/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
