Gerald Perino August 22, 2025

Rise Homesโ€™ Contra Costa County market update for July 2025.

Summer is in full swing in Contra Costa, and the housing market remains competitive with a few interesting shifts. Here’s a detailed look at the latest numbers and what they mean for you:

Contra Costa single-family market infographic: 2.65 months of inventory, 18 days on market, $855,000 median sold price.

Condo, townhouse, and TIC market infographic: 3.29 months of inventory, 28 median days on market, $545,000 median sold price.

๐Ÿ“‰ Months Supply of Inventory: 2.79 

With fewer than 4 months of inventory, Contra Costa is firmly in a seller’s market. Homes remain in high demand, and sellers have the advantage of limited competition.

๐Ÿ“Š Inventory Trends: -5% MoM | +17% YoY 

The month-to-month dip suggests slightly fewer homes available right now, but over the past year, inventory has grown. Buyers may see more options long-term, while sellers should be aware of increasing competition over time.

โณ Median Days on Market: 20 

Homes are selling in just under three weeks. This pace shows buyers are moving quickly, and sellers should be prepared to list competitively and ensure their home is market-ready.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Sold to List Price: 101% 

The average home is selling above its asking price, pointing to ongoing demand and multiple-offer situations. Sellers can feel confident pricing aggressively, while buyers should prepare for bidding wars.

๐Ÿ  Median Sold Price: $775,000 

This number sets the benchmark for affordability and expectations in Contra Costa. Sellers can use it as a guide for pricing strategy, while buyers can better understand the financial range needed to compete.

๐Ÿงญ What this means for you:

๐ŸŸฉ Sellers: With homes selling quickly and often above asking, it’s still an excellent time to list. Positioning and presentation will help you maximize results.
๐ŸŸฆ Buyers: Expect competition and act decisively. Strong offers and financing readiness will help you stand out.
