How to Read the San Francisco Market
- SF has the tightest interquartile band of any major market ($410–$729): pricing is unusually predictable here.
- FiDi and SoMa dominate the inventory; the discount for being two blocks off Market Street is real.
- Per-desk pricing is all-in. Compare against a traditional lease’s total occupancy cost — rent plus buildout, furniture, internet, utilities, and staffing — not base rent alone.
