Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Castro Valley’s rolling three-month data shows prices holding relatively steady while activity cools. The typical home value is down less than 1% from a year ago, but homes sold have dropped nearly 29% and pending sales are down about 29% as well.
In the latest rolling period ending September 2026, inventory is tighter than last year even as conditions ease slightly from earlier highs. Active listings are down more than 23% year over year, yet months of supply has risen about 48%, reaching 1.9 months and indicating more options than buyers had at the end of 2025.
Competition has shifted rather than disappeared, with the share of homes selling above list up about 23% compared with a year ago and the average sale-to-list ratio at roughly 104%. With a median of 16 days on market and more than 43% of homes going off market within two weeks, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to navigate timing, pricing, and negotiation in Castro Valley.

“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!”
“Charo did an outstanding job of showing me the property, negotiating the price, promptly responded to various requests/questions from the lender and finally get the deal closed.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Vicky did a great job helping us purchase our house. She was always available, responsive and gave us great advice. She made the process very easy and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”
“Yousuf did a great job managing the sell of my property. I live out of state and he professional ly handle the remodel and staging. He's is part of team that he can draw from to help with estate sale, remodel and staging. He worked great with the banks and escrow company. And he himself was pleasant and understanding when I had questions.”
“Farhad Lodin is a fantastic real estate professional! He’s genuine, easy to work with, and a great communicator. He takes the time to listen and keeps you informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Farhad to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate agent!”
“I first met Jessica in July 2024 at an open house she was hosting in Emerald Hills. We weren't really looking for anything in particular at the time and told Jessica as such. Still, she was still super welcoming and chatted with us to get a feel for what we were looking for. Couple of weeks later, she emailed me with a place she found that fit what we told her, so I was impressed that she took notes. We didn't have an agent at the time so we figured we'd work with her to give it a try. We started to seriously look for a new home at the beginning of 2025 and Jessica was always super responsive and honest with her assessment of the various places we found on Zillow. Embarrassingly, we put Jessica through the blender a couple of times (three times, to be exact) thinking that we were going to bid for a house but didn't end up going through with it for various reasons. Each time, Jessica was gracious and patient with us and continued to help us search for our new home. At long last, we found one we liked (Jessica approves, lol) and are about to close on the house really soon! She helped us negotiate the price down and even got us a set of washer/dryer from the seller ;) To whoever's reading this, the fact that I'm writing this without AI assistance should demonstrate to you my appreciation for Jessica and how we really recommend her if you're looking for a new home in the Bay Area! Edit: adding that Jessica works with construction guys too so she can tell when something's not to code!!”
“When Natasha says she will do something she gets it done, not tomorrow but right now. You won't find anyone that is more competent, knowledgeable, and responsive. Weekends, weekdays, after normal hours, she is always working for you. Her assistance with inspections, and repairs was invaluable. I could go on for pages detailing all the ways she helped us sell my sister's house. My family was so fortunate to find her. Before you choose an agent make sure you speak with her. You won't regret it!”
“Working with Joe and the entire RISE Homes team was truly a dream! They made selling our home such a breeze from start to finish. They handled every detail, both big and small, which took a huge weight off our family's shoulders. Joe and his team genuinely listened to all of our questions, comments, and concerns with care and patience. They always made sure to check in with us throughout every step of the process, keeping us informed and making sure we felt supported along the way. We truly cannot thank Joe and the entire RISE Homes team enough for everything they did for our family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“Drew is an amazing agent! He’s very timely, always available to answer any questions, and most importantly he puts your needs first. Drew made my home buying experience smooth and painless. Drew always had great advice to give and was very knowledgeable about the communities we visited. He listened to all my wants and needs and checked every box. He exceeded my expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Chris Ford! From beginning to end, Chris exceeded every expectation we had. He is truly everything you could ever want in a realtor—professional, knowledgeable, responsive, patient, kind, and genuinely invested in his clients. Throughout the entire process of selling our home and purchasing our new one, Chris made us feel as though we were his only clients. He was always available to answer our questions, incredibly quick to provide information, and took the time to explain every detail so we fully understood each step. We never felt rushed or pressured. Instead, we always felt informed, comfortable, and confident that Chris had our best interests at heart. His attention to detail, exceptional communication, and dedication to getting us the very best deal were remarkable. Thanks to his hard work and efficiency, we even closed a week earlier than expected! Another thing that truly impressed us was the incredible team of professionals Chris surrounded us with. From the lenders to the title and closing teams, everyone was outstanding. The entire experience was seamless, and it was evident that Chris works with people who share his commitment to excellence. Buying and selling a home can be overwhelming, but Chris made the experience not only manageable but genuinely enjoyable. He went above and beyond in every possible way, and we are so grateful that we had him guiding us through such an important chapter in our lives. If you are looking for a realtor who will treat you like family, work tirelessly on your behalf, and make you feel like his number one priority, Chris Ford is the one! We could not recommend him more highly. Chris, thank you for everything you did for us. We are beyond grateful! Jeff and Seana Shafer”
“We began our home-buying journey with very little experience, and meeting Josh at an open house was truly a blessing. From our first interaction, he impressed us with his expertise, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help. He guided us through every step of the search and purchasing process with patience, care, and unwavering support. Josh’s exceptional knowledge of the Tri-Valley real estate market was invaluable. His understanding of the area’s neighborhoods helped us find the right location and make confident, well-informed decisions. He made what could have been an overwhelming experience—especially for first-time buyers—smooth and reassuring through his responsiveness, negotiating skills, helpful resources, and steady guidance. We were able to get our dream home at a very competitive price. More than an excellent realtor, Josh became a trusted friend who genuinely cared about our needs. We are deeply grateful for his dedication and for going above and beyond to help us find our home. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone buying a home. You will be in excellent hands.”
“I give Linnette and her team the highest recommendation possible. If you miss out on working with her, you're making a mistake. I originally met her when buying my home in North Oakand 10 years ago, and she was excellent. During Covid, I left the area, and in 2026 I made the decision to sell. It was a no-brainer to go back to Linnette. I am across the country, and she managed the entire process with no hassle for me. Took care of specs, comps, price modeling, recommended renovations, affordable contractor, etc. She and her team were in great touch throughout. I trusted her opinions, and she got me a wild number of bids and an incredible purchase price. Everything went off without a hitch. I would definitely work with her again. Thanks, Team Linnette!”
“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!”
“Had a really great experience working with Gurjeet. As home buyers, we were pretty nervous about the crazy market, but he made the whole process so much easier. We just closed on our place and he was awesome from start to finish. He really knows the market inside out and gave us straight advice without being pushy at all. Super responsive whenever we had questions. Highly recommend him!”
