How much is my Noe Valley home worth? Your Noe Valley home's current market value depends on recent comparable sales, unique property features, current market conditions, and location-specific factors. With Noe Valley's median home price reaching $2.2M in 2025 and properties selling for an average of 4% above asking price, accurate valuation requires Jeff Marples' proven methodology that combines comprehensive market analysis with 20+ years of neighborhood expertise.
Understanding Noe Valley's Current Market Dynamics
When determining your home's value in Noe Valley, you're dealing with one of San Francisco's most sought-after and rapidly appreciating neighborhoods. Recent market data shows dramatic changes that directly impact your property's worth:

Jeff Marples' Multi-Layered Valuation Approach
Unlike automated valuation models or simple comparative market analysis tools, Jeff's proven method incorporates multiple valuation techniques to ensure accuracy in Noe Valley's unique market environment.
1. Comprehensive Comparable Market Analysis (CMA)
Jeff's CMA goes beyond the standard "rule of three" approach used by many agents. His methodology includes:
Recent Sales Analysis
- Properties sold within the last 90 days (critical in fast-moving markets)

- Analysis of both list price and final sale price to understand buyer behavior
Property Feature Matching Jeff evaluates your home against comparables based on:
- Square footage and lot size
- Architectural style (Victorian, Edwardian, contemporary)
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and unique features
- Condition and recent updates
- Parking availability (crucial in Noe Valley)
- Outdoor space and views
2. Micro-Location Premium Assessment
Noe Valley isn't uniform in value—specific streets and blocks command different premiums. Jeff's analysis considers:
Proximity Factors

- Transportation access (MUNI lines, tech shuttles)
Street-by-Street Analysis Recent sales show significant variations within Noe Valley:
- Premium streets near Dolores Park: $1,300+ per square foot
- Central Noe Valley: $1,150-$1,250 per square foot

3. Current Market Momentum Evaluation
Jeff tracks real-time market indicators that affect your home's value:
