San Francisco County Real Estate is so hot right now that in order to afford a median priced home of $1,610,000, a household needs to bring in around $333,000 in annual income, according to a quarterly survey by the California Association of Realtors. Nearby San Mateo county isn't much better - where a $1,575,000 median priced home requires an income of $326,000. The good news, at least for well off San Franciscans, is that more households - 15% - were able to buy a median-priced single-family home in the first quarter of 2018 vs. the fourth quarter of 2017, thanks to rising incomes which rose faster than the increase in home prices and interest rates. Six out of nine bay area counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara) were responsible for the majority of the affordability gains, according to the CAR, while affordability decreased in two counties (Solano and Sonoma). Statewide the situation is much more reasonable: Thirty-one percent of California households could afford to purchase the $538,640 median-priced home in the first quarter of 2018, up from 29 percent in fourth-quarter 2017 but down from 32 percent a year ago. A minimum annual income of $111,500 was needed to make monthly payments of $2,790, including principal, interest, and taxes on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at a 4.44 percent interest rate. Thirty-nine percent of home buyers were able to purchase the $449,720 median- priced condo or townhome. An annual income of $93,090 was required to make a monthly payment of $2,330.

Would be interesting to know the split between land alone value and of the structure; bureaucrats have been hiding land value on tax notices.

Doing your own construction you'd need only a $100,000 for materials; Mexicans, add $50,000.
Not in SF. Everything is union. You could die doing that. For years they would not allow a McDonalds. They still don't have WalMart.
Are McD's and Walmart famously union-proof or something?
No WalMart allowed in SF. McDonalds in the old days of unions was not allowed but is today. Today almost half of union members of government workers.
