3045 Jackson, the 1929 Art Deco elevator building between Baker and Lyon: one closing this year, a corner one-bedroom listed at $1,195,000 and sold at $1,350,000 in seven days

3045 Jackson sold one condominium this year, in a week, at 13 percent over the ask. One unit closed between January 1 and October 15, 2026, against one in the same window of 2025; $1,350,000 of volume against $1,195,000. The MLS record carries no floor area for the sale, so the site shows no per-foot figure; last year's sale ran $1,097 a foot, the two 2022 sales $1,056 and the two 2024 sales $864; no year in the record holds more than two closings.

#504, a corner one-bedroom with views from every room, a renovated kitchen, two walk-in closets and a garage space, was listed on February 6 at $1,195,000, went pending on February 13 and closed at $1,350,000 on March 4, seven days from listing to contract; its dues run $1,153 a month and cover heat, structural insurance and water; the listing record shows it last sold in July 2000 at $725,000, when its listing read "no views," a pairing the site's record does not hold (Redfin). The building's other recent sales on the listing record are #603 at $1,195,000 in April 2025, #601 at $1,187,180 in February 2024 and #102 at $870,000 in November 2024 (Corcoran).

The building dates from 1929, an Art Deco elevator building of six residential floors with four units each, 24 in all, on the south side of Jackson between Baker and Lyon; the building record on this site lists eight (Redfin street index; Redfin).

Jackson Street, between Baker and Lyon

The Lyon Street Steps begin two blocks north at Broadway and Lyon, where Billionaires' Row runs east to Divisadero, and the Presidio is a block west (SF Tourism Tips). Alta Plaza Park, five blocks east at Jackson and Steiner, reopened its tennis courts on September 20, 2026 after a full resurfacing, with a plaque for Helen Wills Moody (Funcheap). The listing's shopping is on Sacramento and Fillmore (Redfin).

No AI office of any size is in Pacific Heights or Presidio Heights; the Standard reports a live-in incubator leasing four Pacific Heights mansions without naming them, and the office figures in the paragraphs below describe SoMa, three miles east (SF Standard).

The timetable that every South of Market building now sits inside is the public-offering calendar. Anthropic filed a confidential draft registration with the SEC on June 1, 2026, a week after a funding round that set its valuation at $965 billion (TechCrunch). As of this week the Standard reports the Anthropic listing has been pushed to November, after the midterms, that OpenAI's has moved to 2027, and that Anthropic is weighing a lockup longer than the usual six months (SF Standard). The same piece carries a Redfin estimate that current and former OpenAI and Anthropic employees could in theory buy close to a third of the metro area's homes with their proceeds, and the counter-argument from UC Berkeley's Enrico Moretti and the Bay Area Council's Jeff Bellisario that the money is concentrated in fewer hands than past booms and that these firms create fewer jobs per dollar because so much goes to data centers rather than headcount. The record in this report ends on October 15. None of it reflects a single share that has been sold.

Two citywide facts frame every building figure here. First, the office recovery is lopsided: CBRE put Q3 2026 vacancy at 27.7 percent citywide, down 6.6 points in a year, but Avison Young splits that into roughly 12 percent for Class A and north of 31 percent for Class B, and a Presidio Bay executive told Bisnow the headline number is misleading for that reason (Bisnow). Second, the condo market is still digging out: the Chronicle's May analysis found that only eight Bay Area ZIP codes showed inflation-adjusted condo gains over the year, all of them in San Francisco, and that Noe Valley's typical condo remained close to $400,000 below its 2019 level in real terms (SF Chronicle).

How this was counted

Two records feed this review. The MLS layer is one row per listing and carries days on market and square footage. The county layer reaches back further and catches transfers that never listed, but records the same closing once per data source, so the two were merged on unit, date and price and each closing kept once. Below-market-rate units and transfers under $300,000 are listed but excluded from every median. "Same window" means January 1 to October 15 of each year. Nothing here is a valuation of any unit, and nothing here is advice.
