Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Alum Rock’s rolling three-month data shows home values and asking prices moving higher. The typical home value is up about 9 percent from a year ago, while the median list price has climbed nearly 7 percent over the same period.
Inventory and sales activity are telling a different story than prices. Active listings are down roughly 15 percent compared with last year, and both homes sold and new listings have fallen by about one quarter, even as pending sales are only modestly lower.
Conditions on the ground point to a tight seller’s market, with just 1.1 months of supply and homes spending a median of 18 days on the market in the latest three-month window. With about half of recent sales closing above list price and the average sale coming in very close to asking, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who knows how to navigate this kind of environment.
Alum Rock offers residents a welcoming, convenient community with accessible parks, diverse local amenities, and easy connections to work, schools, and outdoor recreation.

With I‑680, Capitol Expressway, and nearby Berryessa BART close at hand, commuting across the South Bay and into San Francisco is straightforward.
Daily life here is practical and convenient. Residents rely on local shopping centers, family‑run markets, and spots like Emma Prusch Farm Park for weekend outings. Students are served by schools such as James Lick High School, and families appreciate access to the Dr. Roberto Cruz Alum Rock Branch Library for programs and study space. Nearby Alum Rock Park provides miles of hiking trails, picnic spots, and scenic canyon views right at the edge of the neighborhood.
For those exploring the broader region, it is easy to connect from Alum Rock into San Jose, visit the Japantown district, or head south toward Santa Clara County wine country. Nearby communities like Willow Glen and Alviso add even more dining and recreation choices.

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Ron Laserna! He truly listened to what we wanted, was always quick to respond, and gave us honest, knowledgeable advice throughout the process. Thanks to his hard work, we found our dream home. We highly recommend Ron to anyone buying or selling a home!”
“Finding Laxmi Penupothula to sell our home at Ferry Lane in Fremont was an absolute blessing. We were going through a profound personal loss, making an already overwhelming process feel nearly impossible. Before meeting Laxmi, we interviewed several other agents, but they only seemed focused on their own bottom lines and self-interest. From the moment Laxmi walked into our home, everything changed. Laxmi treated us like family, with genuine compassion, patience, and care that no other agent offered. We had originally searched online for the 'Best Realtor near me,' and Laxmi’s name was everywhere,and now we understand why. She went far beyond expectations, handling every detail of the preparation, marketing, and negotiation. Laxmi did everything humanly possible to ensure our property achieved maximum value, ultimately selling our home for an astonishing $400,000 over asking price. Laxmi truly did what no other agent could have accomplished. We cannot thank Laxmi enough for walking beside us during such a difficult season and delivering life-changing results. She is without a doubt the best realtor in Fremont and the entire Bay Area. If you want an agent with unmatched heart who will fight for every last dollar of your home’s value, hire Laxmi! there is simply no one else.”
“As a first-time homebuyer, we were incredibly nervous about the whole process, but working with Ruby was an absolute dream. She was patient, answered all our questions, and never made us feel rushed. She truly understood what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home. We couldn't have asked for a better overall experience!”
“Matt was excellent his greatest attribute is that he listened to our needs and wants and accommodated us in delivering the best service possible. We quickly sold our home and were able to move on to the next step in our home ownership journey. We would recommend Matt to anybody looking for an agent who is attentive and puts the customer first through the entire process.”
“She is a strategic planner, and can get the job done under challenging circumstances. She was our seller agent and sold our house at a price beyond our expectations with multiple offers. We can’t ask for more. We highly recommend Mattie to everyone who wants to buy or sell their house”
“I am so grateful for Danny Burgess, for helping me with the purchase of my first home. From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. He made the entire process easy to understand and was always available to answer any questions and guide me through each step. Buying my first home felt like a big and sometimes overwhelming experience, but Danny made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the journey. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made such a difference. Thank you, Danny, for helping make my dream of owning a home a reality! I truly appreciate everything you've done for me and would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy a home.”
“Alfredo did an outstanding job assisting me with the sale of my townhouse. He was very quick in helping get the property ready for showings and helped keep the entire process stress free thanks to his knowledge and responsiveness throughout. I definitely will not hesitate to use Alfredo again or to recommend him to my family and friends.”
“Todd is a rockstar agent- a master of his craft. I sold my house recently- the second time I’ve worked with him. Seamless experience listing, staging, and selling. He has great negotiation advise, and working with him felt like we were a team.”
“Five stars! We recently bought a home in San Jose, and James Do was phenomenal to work with. The home-buying process can be stressful, but his communication skills, market knowledge, and dedication made everything incredibly smooth for us. What stood out the most was how he was able to stand in our shoes, truly understand our wants, and never pressured us into a decision. We are so happy with our new home, highly recommend!”
“Beyond satisfied, thankful, and happy to have chosen the Mark & Wyss Group as our Bay Area realtors for the purchase of our new single-family home. From Day 1, Mark and Julie listened carefully to our goals and helped us understand what it really means to buy a home in the Bay Area. As first-time home buyers, there was a lot we didn’t know going into the process, especially in a market as competitive and unique as the Bay Area. They walked us through every aspect of the process, gave us clear and practical advice, and helped us develop the right strategy to make sure we were in the strongest position to get the house we wanted. Throughout the entire process, they were extremely competent, responsive, and effective. We always felt that they were a step ahead, knew exactly what needed to happen, and were focused on getting us the best possible outcome, not just getting a deal done. Their experience and judgment gave us a lot of confidence, especially when it mattered most. We have a great deal of respect for Mark and Julie and the way they work. We’re very happy with the outcome and would absolutely recommend the Mark & Wyss Group to anyone looking to buy a home in the Bay Area.”
“Outstanding support throughout a complex transaction and made our dream property purchase a reality! Working with Anna was an excellent experience from start to finish. Purchasing Mount Shasta Ranch Bed & Breakfast was a complex transaction with many moving parts, and Anna guided us through every step with professionalism, patience, and outstanding communication. She was always responsive, kept us informed throughout the process, and worked proactively with the seller, escrow, insurance, bank and everyone involved to help keep the transaction moving forward. Her market knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to navigate challenges gave us confidence during every stage of the purchase. What impressed us most was that Anna genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal. She was always available to answer questions, provide thoughtful advice, and make sure we understood our options before making important decisions. We are truly grateful for all of Anna's hard work and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional real estate agent. Thank you, Anna, for helping us make our dream of owning Mount Shasta Ranch Bed & Breakfast a reality!”
“can't recommend Omid enough. He helped us get our first house. This time we were a little more picky with the zipcodes, schools, size of the backyard etc. Right from the get go, Omid helped set up a customized mis alert which was very helpful to track new and sometimes even off market listings. I dont think he ever sleeps because whenever we messaged him we got a response within a minute. Also I have never heard "no" for any of our requests. He either finds an alternative or makes sure he is able to take care of it. He is also very resourceful in finding recommendations for contractors, handyman, inspections, insurance etc.”
“Working with Victor to buy our home was an absolutely fantastic experience. From day one, he went above and beyond, shadowing us through every single step of the process. Buying a home can be incredibly overwhelming, but Victor made us feel supported, informed, and confident at every turn. He was always there to answer our questions, navigate the paperwork, and ensure we knew exactly what to expect next. His dedication, attention to detail, and constant presence gave us peace of mind and confidence that we were not being taken advantage of by the sellers. If you are looking for a professional who will genuinely dedicate themselves to your journey and guide you through the process with expertise and care, we cannot recommend Victor highly enough! Thank you, Victor, for helping us find our home!”
“While we've known Tony Vo for many years, having him represent us first as a buyer's agent and now as our seller's agent has been nothing but a positive experience. He truly knows how to represent both sides of the transaction by providing detailed market analysis reports, offering guidance on fair market value, and sharing his extensive experience as a realtor. What really stood out was Tony's knowledge of the Oakwood Shores community. Selling a resale home while nearby builders continued lowering prices and offering attractive incentives was a challenging situation, but Tony understood the market dynamics without us having to explain them. Being a great real estate agent isn't just about achieving the numbers—it's about taking the time to understand each client's perspective. Tony took the time to understand both our short- and long-term investment goals and helped us make informed decisions at the right time. Even with his busy schedule, he was always responsive, drove out to our property, and helped us prepare it for sale. Throughout the escrow process, he carefully explained every step and made sure we understood all the documents we were signing. In the end, Tony demonstrated both expertise and genuine care while representing us. We experienced firsthand his professionalism, patience, and dedication. He never rushed us and always respected our wishes as both buyers and sellers. Thank you, Tony Vo, for representing us so well!”
“Faith is the kind of agent you want in your corner, especially if you are buying for the first time or making an investment decision where the details really matter. She helped me buy my Milpitas investment property below market value, and what stood out was that she did not just send listings and wait for me to decide. She understood the numbers, helped me think through the opportunity, negotiated hard, and made sure I felt clear about every step of the process. She is also genuinely friendly and easy to talk to, which made a huge difference during what could have been a stressful process. At the same time, she is incredibly professional, responsive, and knows the Bay Area market inside and out. After the purchase, Faith stayed involved while I managed the design side of the flip and helped oversee parts of the renovation. When we were ready to sell, she knew how to position the home, price it strategically, and create the right momentum. We got an over-asking offer in less than 30 days. What makes Faith different is that she cares about the full outcome, not just getting a transaction closed. She is sharp, trustworthy, hardworking, and will tell you what you need to know—not just what you want to hear. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying, selling, or investing in the Bay Area.”
“I am incredibly grateful to have found Francis and his team. From my initial casual searching to finding a home I absolutely love, and all the way through closing, they were consistently helpful, respectful, and kind. Because I travel frequently, I was actually out of town during a few critical moments of the transaction. Francis and his team stepped up seamlessly, ensuring I didn't miss a single deadline and guiding me through every step remotely. I felt like I was in excellent hands the entire time. Every interaction was pleasant, supportive, and completely low-stress. I highly recommend Francis and his team to anyone looking for a dedicated real estate partner.”
