🔍 Alameda Real Estate Market Update – July 2025

Gerald Perino August 29, 2025

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.

📉 Months Supply of Inventory: 2.49

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.

📊 Inventory Trends: -7% MoM, +8% YoY

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.

⏳ Median Days on Market: 19

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.

💰 Sold to List Price: 103%

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.

🏠 Median Sold Price: $1,080,000

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.

🧭 What this means for you

🟩 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.
