The Bay Area’s housing market is cooling off after years of growth fueled by the tech boom.

The median price of a house in San Francisco increased just 1.3% from a year earlier to $1.6 million, the smallest gain since 2012, according to the real estate brokerage Compass. Prices in Santa Clara County, which includes San Jose and Palo Alto, declined almost 6% to $1.26 million.
