🔍 Alameda Real Estate Market Update – August 2025

Gerald Perino September 30, 2025

As we move through the second half of the year, Alameda County’s housing market continues to reflect strong demand and limited supply—hallmarks of a competitive seller’s market. Here’s a closer look at the data and what it means for buyers and sellers.

📉 Inventory remains tight

Months Supply of Inventory: 2.25
Anything under 3 months is considered a seller’s market. With so few homes available, sellers continue to benefit from high demand and favorable terms.

Monthly Change in Inventory: -11%
The short-term dip has tightened buyer options even further.

12-Month Change in Inventory: +1%
While the long-term data shows a slight increase, it hasn’t been enough to ease overall competition.

⏳ Homes are selling at a steady pace

Median Days on Market: 21
Homes are going under contract in about three weeks on average. This pace gives buyers a reasonable window to complete inspections and financing but still reflects strong interest from buyers.

💰 Pricing remains competitive

Sold to List Price Ratio: 103%
Most homes are selling above their asking price, indicating multiple-offer situations remain common.

Median Sold Price: $1,050,000
This figure reflects steady property values in Alameda and sets realistic expectations for both buyers and sellers.

🧭 What this means for you

For Sellers: Low supply and strong demand put you in a favorable position. Pricing your home strategically can help attract multiple offers and maximize your return.

For Buyers: Be prepared to act quickly, and budget above the asking price to stay competitive. Working with a local expert can help you navigate this fast-moving market.
