What it costs to buy a home in Mission District
At today’s typical value of $1,428,600 (Zillow, Aug 2026), a buyer putting 20% down ($285,720) and financing the rest at 6.5% over 30 years would pay about $7,224 a month in principal and interest — 57% of the median household income here. That is well above the common 28% guideline, so buying here typically takes an above-median income, a larger down payment or existing equity. The median rent is $2,404/month, so owning costs roughly 200% more per month than renting, before taxes, insurance and upkeep — the trade-off is building equity.

What this means for buyers, sellers and investors in Mission District
Buyers
At 9.8× local income, this is a premium market; expect competition for the few homes at the lower end of the range. Prices rose 14.9% last year, so waiting has been costly recently.
Sellers
Values are up 14.9% on the year, so recent sales support your price — and get a home-specific estimate: condition and size move the number more than the area average.
Investors
A gross rental yield of 1.9% is low — this is an appreciation play rather than a cash-flow market.

About this data
Data last updated: September 2026.
Current values and trends use the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) — the typical value of mid-tier homes, smoothed and seasonally adjusted — through Aug 2026. It is refreshed monthly.
Median values, incomes, rents, housing stock and commutes come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates at ZIP Code Tabulation Area level. City and state figures are population-weighted averages of their ZIPs.
The Value Score (0–10) blends gross rental yield and price-to-income affordability. It is a value snapshot, not a forecast.
Mortgage figures assume 20% down and a 6.5% fixed 30-year loan, principal and interest only.
These are area-level statistics, not an appraisal of any individual property, and not financial advice.
