In my experience, in San Francisco, there's no premium for new construction. You either get a place or you don't. The 60 year old victorian split into apartments is still $3,200 just like the modern construction 1 bedroom in SOMA.

The big difference of course is that buildings built before 1979 are rent controlled. Had a friend have his rent go from $1800 to $3200 after his first year.

This place is insane. I moved to sleepy Petaluma an hour north and have no regrets.
