Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Alameda County is seeing a pickup in activity as fall begins, with active listings rising nearly 5 percent from last month even as they sit slightly below last year. Homes sold and pending sales each inched up month over month, while new listings jumped more than 11 percent, signaling that more owners are bringing properties to market.
Pricing has eased off peak levels but is still edging higher than a year ago, with the typical home value up modestly year over year and the median list price climbing more than 3 percent in the same period. Properties are also moving faster, as the median days on market dropped to about two and a half weeks, down sharply from last month and slightly lower than a year earlier.
Competition remains firm despite the increase in supply, with only 2.4 months of inventory compared with 3.6 months across California as a whole. More than half of recent sales closed above asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio has pushed past 107 percent, both up meaningfully from last year and from the prior month, so buyers and sellers can both benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands how to navigate these dynamics.

Alameda County offers residents a vibrant mix of diverse communities, expansive parks and shoreline recreation, strong schools and healthcare, thriving local economies, and easy access to transportation and cultural amenities that together foster opportunity and community.
Alameda County spans the east side of the San Francisco Bay, combining major cities like Oakland, Berkeley, and Fremont with smaller communities such as Alameda, Hayward, and Dublin. Residents benefit from extensive transit, including BART and AC Transit, that connects neighborhoods to San Francisco and Silicon Valley job centers, while I‑580 and I‑880 provide direct freeway access.
Daily life is shaped by walkable districts, diverse food scenes, and abundant green space. Oakland’s waterfront at Jack London Square offers dining, ferries, and events, while the Oakland Museum of California and Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive anchor a strong arts and culture scene. Families appreciate top educational institutions like UC Berkeley and a mix of public and private schools across Berkeley and Pleasanton.
Outdoor access is a major draw. The East Bay Regional Park District maintains miles of trails in the Oakland Hills, around Lake Chabot, and throughout Fremont, with views across the bay and space for hiking, biking, and family outings.
Given the county’s varied housing stock, from historic bungalows in Alameda County to contemporary condos and suburban neighborhoods, a local real estate expert is essential. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with agents who understand each micro‑market, helping streamline decisions and reduce stress at every step.

“My husband and I relocated from Southern California. We really lucked out when we found Jennifer Gates! She was very polite, friendly, and extremely professional. Her knowledge of the area and her great & timely communication skills were truly assets. I always felt very important. She went above and beyond to help us acquire our dream home overlooking the ocean. Jennifer made us feel like a valued client. I highly recommend her as a realtor.”

“Lynne has been sending me real estate information on my email for at least 3 years. When my Mom passed away in May, 2026, I needed to sell her house since that was the plan I had with my siblings. I contacted Lynne and when I met her, I immediately felt she was the right realtor for us. She proved her expertise and professionalism by being so resilient in her pursuit of a buyer and not giving up. She continued to search for buyers and constantly communicating with me and giving me updates. The house she was selling had 7 negatives and in spite of that, she was still able to find the correct buyer. I have never met her before but she became my most wonderful friend.”

“Loved working with Mauricio as a first-time home buyer! I had many questions as the entire process was unfamiliar to me. Mauricio was able to summarize many documents for me and even give me his own opinions on the homes. He is friendly, very responsive, attentive, and reliable. He made me feel like I was his only client even though I know he has more! During my contract period, I switched lenders spontaneously and he was able to navigate the changes smoothly. I never felt like my questions were too many or burdensome for him. I hope I will be able to work with him again someday!”

“I met Alicia at an open house, and she was friendly and approachable from the start. She took the time to show me around, answer my questions, and offer helpful suggestions on what to look for in a home. I appreciated her insight and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I’d definitely recommend reaching out to her!”

“Jorge and Iris made buying my property a smooth and easy experience from start to finish. They were accommodating, communicative, and always prompt in responding to my questions. Both were professional while also being personable and easy to work with. They handled the inspection and negotiations with care, and everything went smoothly without any issues. I’m very happy with the property and would highly recommend Jorge and Iris to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“Payal is a good person, very supportive and communicative. She always makes time to interact and showed me many places before I found "the one", and I wouldn't have found it without her. She is knowledgeable and trustworthy.”

“I met Sue by chance and struck up a conversation with her about current real estate market trends. I was impressed by her knowledge of national trends and, more importantly, how those trends translated to the Orange County market. I was particularly interested in local statistics for my neighborhood, as I was considering purchasing a property for a family member who could live within walking distance. Just a few weeks later, a listing came on the market in my neighborhood that checked all the boxes. Inventory in the neighborhood was limited, and this particular property was a rare single-story floor plan—the last one had sold four years earlier. I immediately reached out to Sue and her partner, Erin, and they quickly put together a plan of action. All I can say is that experience matters. What impressed me most was their negotiation strategy, which positioned us to submit the strongest possible offer. With five offers on the property, we ultimately won the bid. Throughout the transaction, every deadline was met, and there were no surprises. In fact, we were able to close ahead of schedule. Sue and Erin also have a strong network of service providers, which is a valuable resource if you need recommendations or additional support along the way. Overall, the entire process was smooth, seamless, and highly professional. I truly appreciated their market knowledge, strategic approach, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Sue and Erin to anyone looking for knowledgeable, experienced, and professional real estate agents.”

“Shelby was amazing to work with on purchasing my first home. She made the process as smooth as possible. I felt comfortable with making this huge decision. We were even able to close early! Shelby explained the home buying process, helped with understanding negotiations and what is a reasonable offer. Her knowledge of the market and the area was reassuring when accepting the offer.”

“I had a great experience working with Jonathan to sell my home. I truly appreciate all his hard work, time, and effort in making the process go as smoothly as possible. Jonathan was helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Selling a home can be stressful, but having someone I could trust made a big difference. I’m very grateful for all his help, guidance, and dedication. I would definitely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Jonathan, for everything!”

“Jessie did very good job at showing us the house around San Francisco and San Mateo County. She gave us very professional and honest advice on the home we were looking for. She went through the inspection, pointed out what we need to consider, and helped us draft a strong offer to secure our current home. Thanks to her, we have our first lovely home. Even after securing our home, Jessie went the extra mile to ensure we would be able to comfortably settle in. We would highly recommend Jessie to any homebuyers who need help in Bay Area.”

“I worked with Megan twice: first when I bought my home, and again six years later when I sold it. Both times she was outstanding. When I was buying, Megan asked a lot of thoughtful questions to understand what I actually needed and wanted, and she came with me to every showing. She paid attention to how I felt about each house we saw and based her recommendations on my reactions, which helped us zero in on the right place. She also suggested areas I hadn’t considered and was incredibly informative about the different builders and neighborhoods, which helped me feel confident in my decision. When a relocation meant I had to sell, I wasn’t going to be in the area to handle the details. Megan took care of everything for me, from start to finish. She arranged the inspection, the stager, and the cleaners, so I didn’t have to coordinate any of it from a distance. When an incident the day before closing required a repair, she handled that too. My house sold in just 6 days, and we received a little more than the asking price. I can’t recommend Megan highly enough. If you want a realtor who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly looks out for you, she’s the one to call.”
Keller Williams Realty SantaCruz
“Alonya was recommended by a trusted friend, and exceeded even that strong recommendation. She listened closely to what I wanted, and identified a hidden gem that I ended up purchasing. She helped with a lot of tricky steps and connected me with great contractors. Because I was living hundreds of miles away from the house I bought and moved in to, she met many of my neighbors before me, and facilitated the great relationships I have with them now. I could not be happier.”

“I am extremely satisfied with Kim and Alex's work as my selling agents for my home in San Jose. Their collaborative approach resulted in an exceptional outcome. Kim and Alex expertly guided me through the entire home preparation and selling process. Their General Contractor, landscapers and cleaner meticulously prepared my home for market, maximizing its appeal and value. I particularly appreciated Alex's keen eye for detail in overseeing the renovations, including paint, fixtures and appliance selections, ensuring the property presented its best to potential buyers. I found the flexible payment options for the renovation work extremely accommodating. Throughout the process, Kim and Alex consistently demonstrated extraordinary communication and professionalism. They patiently addressed all my questions and concerns, providing clear explanations and valuable insights. They consistently prioritized my needs and allowed me ample time to make informed decisions without any pressure. Several times they sensed I was uncertain or anxious about selling. Alex and Kim scheduled calls to clearly listen to my concerns. Kim was great on these calls. She had an amazing sense of my concern and asked questions to better understand the situation, then she and Alex would provide examples & options for me to consider. I enthusiastically recommend Kim and Alex to anyone considering selling or buying a home.”

“We had a great experience working with Tammie! She has helped us buy and sell homes over the years, and we truly appreciate her support. She is knowledgeable, patient, honest, and always available to answer our questions. She genuinely cares about her clients and makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Tammie!”

“I truly couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Jose Padilla! As a first-time homebuyer, purchasing my first home was one of the biggest and most important decisions of my life. I had so many questions, concerns, and uncertainties throughout the process, and I am incredibly grateful that I had Jose by my side to guide me through it all. From the very beginning, Jose was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me become a homeowner. He took the time to explain the process, walk me through important decisions, and help me understand my options without making me feel pressured. I never felt like I was just another transaction to him. What I appreciated most was his dedication and willingness to advocate for my best interests. He helped me navigate negotiations, seller credits, inspections, paperwork, and the many moving parts that come with purchasing a home. My particular transaction was far from straightforward, with unexpected delays and complications that made an already stressful experience even more challenging. Throughout it all, Jose remained committed to seeing things through and helping me reach the finish line. I also appreciated that his support didn't simply end once the paperwork was signed. He continued helping me navigate the transition into homeownership, including coordinating important HOA information after closing. That level of care and follow-through meant so much to me. Buying my first home was a major milestone, and I will always be thankful that Jose was part of that experience. His hard work, dedication, and commitment to his clients truly deserve recognition. If you're looking for a realtor who will take your homebuying journey seriously, advocate for your interests, and stand by you through the challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend Jose Padilla. Thank you so much, Jose, for helping me accomplish something that means so much to me. I am officially a homeowner, and I couldn't be more grateful!”

“Rob was an exceptional real estate agent for my wife and me as we searched for our first home. After extensive research, he stood out as the top choice, and our initial conversation confirmed he was the right fit. Over several months, Rob guided us in identifying our preferences, evaluating neighborhoods, and understanding pricing. His calm demeanor made the often nerve-wracking home-buying process much more manageable. His connections made it easy for us to find options for lenders, insurance brokers, and everything else needed to make the process run smoothly. He was extremely responsive and communicative. We highly recommend working with Rob.”
