The five highest-priced home sales reported in the San Francisco metro area for the week ending October 18, 2026, came to a combined $66.899 million. Four of the homes are in San Francisco, in the city’s Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights neighborhoods, and the fifth is in Atherton, in San Mateo County.
All five are single-family homes, and they range from a Tudor that was once a conductor’s residence to a modern design by a noted architecture firm and a ranch on a wooded lot of almost an acre. Prices ran from $9.85 million to $19.4 million, and Compass agents listed three of the five.
