Alameda’s housing market continues to hold strong this spring, with low inventory and high buyer demand defining the landscape. If you’re planning to buy or sell in this East Bay gem, here’s what you need to know:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
