“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.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Kensington’s rolling three-month numbers show a market with more options but still tight overall. Active listings are up slightly year over year and new listings have jumped by more than a quarter, yet only 1.8 months of supply keeps conditions tilted toward sellers.
From a pricing standpoint, typical home values are up strongly from a year ago, rising by more than 25 percent even as median list prices have edged lower. This combination suggests buyers are seeing some adjustment in asking prices while closed sales still reflect the strength of recent demand.
Looking at contract activity, homes sold and pending sales both show healthy year-over-year gains, and half of sales are still going under contract in about two weeks or less. With more than 70 percent of properties closing above list and an average sale-to-list ratio above 120 percent, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate Kensington’s fast-moving market.
Learn more about what Kensington has to offer.
Kensington offers residents a charming, close-knit community with scenic streets, abundant green spaces, convenient local shops, and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.
Kensington offers a small-town residential feel with quick access to larger hubs like Berkeley, Albany, and Oakland. Tree-lined streets, hillside views, and modest commercial pockets make daily life convenient without feeling crowded.
Residents rely on two compact retail districts along Arlington Avenue and Colusa Avenue, where you will find neighborhood markets, local cafés, and services that cover everyday needs. Outdoor space is a major draw. Kensington Park and the Kensington Community Center anchor local recreation with playgrounds, sports courts, and community programs, while nearby Tilden Regional Park offers miles of trails, picnic areas, and scenic overlooks.
Families value access to the Kensington Hilltop Elementary School area, as well as proximity to educational and cultural resources in Berkeley, including the UC Berkeley campus. Commuters typically use nearby North Berkeley and El Cerrito BART stations, AC Transit routes, and straightforward connections to I 80 and I 580 for trips around the region.
Real estate in Kensington ranges from mid century homes with bay views to more modest cottages on quiet streets. With varied topography, microclimates, and a competitive market, working with a local agent who understands specific blocks, school boundaries, and transit options can reduce stress at every step. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right Kensington expert to navigate those details with confidence.

“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.”
“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 Sophie was a wonderful experience. She guided us through every step of the purchase and was always responsive and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better agent.”
“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!”
“Some Realtors help you buy a house. Clifton Driver helped my family find our home. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a family can make, and I truly believe that having the right Realtor makes all the difference. From the very beginning, Clifton Driver of Delphi Realty Group demonstrated patience, honesty, professionalism, and genuine dedication to helping my family achieve our dream of homeownership. Throughout this journey, Clifton was always there to answer our questions, explain every step, and make sure we understood the process. He never pressured us into making a decision. Instead, he took the time to educate us, guide us, and help us feel confident about every choice we made. He accompanied us on multiple trips to Tracy, always showing up with a positive attitude and the willingness to go above and beyond. His commitment was never just about closing a transaction. He genuinely cared about finding the right home for my wife, my daughters, and me. One of the most unforgettable moments of this entire experience was the day Clifton handed us the keys to our new home. It was an incredibly emotional moment for my family. We cried tears of happiness, gratitude, and disbelief because something we had dreamed about for so long had finally become a reality. That is a memory I will carry in my heart for the rest of my life. But this journey also carried a very personal emotion for me. I lost my mother, and although receiving the keys to our home was one of the happiest moments of my life, there was a part of my heart that wished she could have been standing there beside us. I would have loved for her to witness this beautiful accomplishment and share that moment with her grandchildren. I know God had other plans for her, and I trust His timing. Deep in my heart, I believe she would have been incredibly proud of us. As I stood there holding those keys, I couldn’t help but think, “Mom, we did it. We’re home.” Clifton was part of a moment that meant much more than purchasing a property. He helped us accomplish a dream filled with sacrifice, hard work, faith, and love for our family. What started as a professional relationship became something much more meaningful. I gained not only an exceptional Realtor but also someone I sincerely respect and consider a friend. For anyone reading this review who is searching for a Realtor who is truly honest, honorable, patient, knowledgeable, and committed to his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Clifton Driver of Delphi Realty Group. He will not pressure you. He will educate you, guide you, stand beside you, and advocate for your best interests throughout the entire process. Clifton, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you did for my family. Thank you for your patience, your dedication, your kindness, and for helping us turn a dream into reality. Some Realtors help you buy a house. Clifton helped my family find our home. We did it. We’re home.”
“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!”
“Gabriela was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. She worked with us for over nine months until we found the perfect house and never made us feel rushed or pressured to settle. She made sure everything we needed was up to par, advocated for us every step of the way, and ultimately helped us find the perfect investment property. We are so grateful for her patience, dedication, and expertise. We truly couldn’t have done it without her!”
“When I was interested in selling my home, I started reading reviews of realtors. Nick Flageollet reviews were very positive. After speaking with him I found him to be very responsive, if Nick didn’t answer my phone calls he would return my calls soon afterwards. He would provide answers to all my questions During the selling process of my first home a buyers agent asked me how I met Nick, the buyers agent expressed all positive remarks about Nick. Nick was very patient with me due to my delay on getting my homes ready for him to put onto the market. When I was ready to sell Nick immediately went into action. He provided a great marketing strategy and kept me informed during the whole process I was so impressed with Nick’s real estate skills i contacted him for selling my second home that sold in 12 days with an offer more than listing price”
“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”
“Adora Lazaro is very professional. We are very happy working with her . We did 1031 exchange and it's quite challenging.”
“I had such an amazing experience working with Nicole. She truly went above and beyond every step of the way and made the entire process so much easier and less stressful. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely caring. She always made me and my kids feel like a priority and was willing to do whatever it took to help us reach our goals both as a buyer and a seller. Her attention to detail, and commitment was truly exceptional. Beyond being an outstanding real estate agent, I always felt we were in good hands and could trust Nicole completely. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”
“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.”
“Loukia was a wonderful agent to work with! She had so much valuable knowledge to share, was always available for us and really pulled through when it mattered most!!”
“The best home selling and home buying experience! Vinnie and his team were so great at explaining every step of the process and making us feel comfortable and sure in our decisions. We never felt rushed or pressured, and we knew Vinnie always had our best interests at heart. Vinnie was so prompt in communicating with us and was only ever a quick text or phone call away. We love this team and would work with them again!!”
“Before I was really ready to buy a place I saw a listing on Zillow that piqued my curiosity and I marked that I was interested in visiting. The system matched me with Evan and I am so glad it did! From an initial conversation about how I was in the early stages of thinking about buying a place to the day that I got my new keys I felt like Evan was on my team. He understood quickly what I liked and helped me navigate the very intimidating process of buying for the first time. Evan was very responsive to my questions whether they were big or small. My perfect home came on the market while Evan was traveling and he was up all hours in France to make sure the bidding process went smoothly for me. On top of everything, Evan is a delight. His smiling face kept me calm amidst the zaniness of the San Francisco real estate market.”
“Thomas was personable, flexible, timely, and communicative! We met him through Zillow and requested his services outside of his area of focus (we were buying in Marin County, and he usually specializes in San Francisco), but he jumped in to help and established open dialogues with selling agents at homes we were interested in. My husband and I enjoyed working with Thomas and appreciated his transparency and humor. We can’t speak to his negotiation skills as we did not enter into much negotiation, but we did close fast and smoothly (within 14 days) with his help and guidance, as well as the help of a great lender at Wells Fargo and a great title associate at Fidelity National Title. This was our first in-depth home buying experience, so we don’t have much to compare to, but Thomas made this experience possible, effective, and fun.”
“We are truly grateful for the amazing experience we had working with Ruben Santiago from RE/MAX Gold as our real estate agent. We were first-time home buyers purchasing our home in Fairfield, California, and having Ruben by our side made what could have been an overwhelming process feel comfortable, smooth, and exciting. From our very first conversation, we noticed how calm and reassuring Ruben was. He has such a soft and steady voice that immediately puts you at ease. During a time filled with so many questions and uncertainties, his patience and calm approach gave us confidence that we were in good hands. What stood out the most was that Ruben genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. He was always quick to respond, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the entire process. As first-time buyers, we had many questions, and he never made us feel rushed or pressured. One of the things we valued most about Ruben was his honesty. We would often ask him, “If you were the buyer, what would you do?” and he would always give us his sincere opinion. He never made us feel like he was just trying to sell us a property. Instead, he helped us look at the bigger picture, shared his thoughts, gave us advice, and guided us toward making the best decision for our family. Ruben has a natural charisma and a genuine concern for his buyers. He offered ideas, pointing out things we might not have noticed, and making sure we understood every step of the journey. His knowledge, patience, and dedication truly set him apart. The location of our new home was exactly what we were hoping for, and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. Ruben made our first home-buying experience memorable, and we will always appreciate the time, effort, and heart he put into helping us achieve this milestone. We don’t just see Ruben as our real estate agent, we see him as someone we can trust and someone we would gladly work with again in the future. We hope to do business with him again and will confidently recommend him to our family and friends. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and treats you like family, Ruben is the one to call. I highly recommend Ruben Santiago. Thank you Ruben, for being patient, honest, and truly dedicated to helping us find our home. You made our first home-buying experience such a positive and memorable one!”
“Marco, Vanessa and their entire team was wonderful from start to finish. We had a unique selling situation (POA for elderly parent) and the team helped guide us through the process. After listing the home in late May 2026, we closed early July 2026 after receiving multiple strong offers. Staging, marketing, technical advice and guidance were all top-notch, and we would not hesitate to recommend Marco and the team. Thanks guys!!!”
“STEPHEN HELPED ME GET MY DREAM HOME! Stephen has deep knowledge of his territory and assisted me in my search for a few months. When my perfect home came on the market, he helped close the deal with a great offer strategy. His experience, knowledge, negotiation skills and relationships in the real estate Industry pushed my offer over the top. After my offer was accepted, Stephen had amazing follow through and ensured the close went smoothly. Stephen is has high integrity, honesty and values. I highly recommend Stephen to anybody!”
