As we step into the heart of summer, Alameda County’s housing market is showing all the signs of continued competitiveness—though with some interesting shifts worth noting.
This metric signals a seller’s market. With less than three months of supply, homes are selling quickly and buyers are competing for limited options.
Month-over-month, inventory dipped by 7%, giving sellers an edge with fewer competing listings. Year-over-year, however, inventory is up 8%, showing signs of a gradual easing for buyers. This balance suggests opportunities for both sides.
Homes are moving in under three weeks. For sellers, this means well-prepared listings attract immediate attention. Buyers, meanwhile, should be prepared to make quick, decisive offers.
Sellers are consistently seeing offers above asking price. Multiple-offer scenarios remain common, and buyers should be ready to compete aggressively to secure their home.
This median reflects steady property values across Alameda County. For buyers, it sets a realistic expectation of the investment required. For sellers, it reinforces the strength of pricing in today’s market.
🟩 Sellers: Now is a strong time to list. With fewer new listings coming in this month and buyers still competing, your property could draw multiple strong offers.
🟦 Buyers: While inventory has improved year-over-year, the short-term dip means competition remains tough. Be prepared to act quickly, make competitive offers, and work closely with an experienced agent.
