According to an article on CNN Money the San Francisco metro area is one of 7 areas in the United States expected to have average home price increases over the next two years.

San Francisco:

Median home price: $675,000
Value lost since 2006: 25.7%
Forecast gain by 2011*: 4.8%

The San Francisco metro area has seen its home values drop by a quarter, and the city still has some pain to work through. The city’s median home price is expected fall another 8.3% by June 2010.
