I will be doing a San Francisco to Stockholm to Vienna to San Francisco trip in the spring. The best price I have been able to find is $1507.

Any tips for buying Euro tickets?

First of all, did you check on less popular days like Tuesday for departure and return days? Also, instead of entering and leaving Europe from different cities, it might be cheaper to buy a roundtrip flight from SanFran to Stockholm, and buy a 1 way ticket from Vienna to Stockholm on a European discount airline (Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizzair, Snowflake, etc.) In many cases you get get a 1 way ticket on these airlines for under $100 (sometimes under $50).

If you go the discount route, you may need to research which airports they use (I think most Sweden discount airlines fly into Malmo, and Austrian discount airlines might use somewhere like Salzburg). Usually, there's a cheap shuttle betweeen the main airport and the discount airport.
