🔍 Contra Costa County October 2025 Market Update

As we move deeper into the fall season, Contra Costa County continues to show signs of a balanced and steady real estate market. With inventory holding firm and prices staying consistent, both buyers and sellers can make confident decisions this October.

📉 Inventory Stability

Months Supply of Inventory: 2.33 months
A healthy supply level indicates a balanced market—leaning slightly toward sellers but offering buyers more breathing room than earlier in the year. While not oversaturated, there’s enough inventory to support steady activity.

12-Month Change in Inventory: +3%
Year-over-year, inventory has remained stable. This small increase reflects a market that’s normalizing after the tighter conditions seen in previous years.

⏱ Homes Are Selling at a Moderate Pace

Median Days on Market: 22 days
Homes are going pending in just over three weeks. This pace offers a comfortable middle ground—fast enough to show good buyer interest but not so fast that buyers feel rushed.

💰 Pricing Holds Strong

Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 100.53%
Homes are selling right around asking price. This signals that sellers are pricing strategically and buyers are comfortable meeting the market.

Median Sold Price: $800,000
Home values remain steady, making Contra Costa County an appealing market for move-up buyers, investors, and those entering the East Bay market.

🧭 What This Means for You

🟩 If You’re a Seller:
Steady pricing and moderate inventory create a favorable environment. Well-presented homes priced correctly can still attract strong interest.

🟦 If You’re a Buyer:
You’re finally seeing some balance return to the market. With homes lasting a bit longer and selling near list price, you have time to assess your options and negotiate with confidence.
