📉 Inventory Still Tight 

Months Supply of Inventory: 2.45
Inventory remains below balanced levels (typically 5–6 months). At just under 2.5 months, we’re still in a strong seller’s market.

📈 Subtle Shift Toward Balance 

12-Month Change in Inventory: +0.38%
There’s a small year-over-year increase in supply—but not enough to change market conditions just yet. Sellers still have the advantage.

⏳ Homes Are Moving Quickly 

Median Days on Market: 13
Homes are going under contract in less than two weeks. Desirable listings in sought-after neighborhoods are moving especially fast.

💸 Offers Over Asking Are Common 

Sold to List Price: 107%
Buyers are bringing their best—and often over—offers. Competitive bidding is still the norm in this low-inventory environment.

🏠 Prices Remain Strong 

Median Sold Price: $1,199,000
High home values remain consistent. Alameda continues to attract buyers looking for charm, community, and strong long-term investment.
