📉 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.

📊 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.

⏳ 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.

💰 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.

🏠 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.

🧭 What this means for you:

🟩 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.
🟦 Buyers: Expect competition and act decisively. Strong offers and financing readiness will help you stand out.
