Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Hoover-Foster currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 43 but showing signs of softening. Months of supply has climbed to 5.8 in this rolling three-month view, far above Oakland as a whole at 3 months of supply. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with the median days on market up to 100 days.
Prices, however, tell a different story of strength. The typical home value is about $880,000, up more than a third compared with a year ago, and well above the broader Oakland median of roughly $773,000. Even with this price growth, the share of homes selling above list has fallen sharply over the past year to about 20 percent, and the average sale-to-list ratio has eased to just under 99 percent.
Sales activity has cooled notably in Hoover-Foster. Over the past year, homes sold are down more than a third and pending sales are off by about half, even as new listings have risen more than 50 percent, giving buyers more options to consider. Active listings are slightly lower than a year ago, but the much higher months of supply suggests properties are staying on the market longer before finding a buyer. With these crosscurrents affecting both pricing power and pace, buyers and sellers can both benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended local agent who understands Hoover-Foster’s shifting dynamics.
Hoover-Foster offers residents a tight-knit, walkable community with green spaces, easy transit access, and a growing mix of local shops, services, and cultural amenities that make everyday life convenient and vibrant.
Hoover-Foster offers a distinctly urban, creative feel compared with nearby Oakland neighborhoods like Temescal and Rockridge. Historically known as “Ghost Town,” the area is now defined by its deep community roots, evolving arts scene, and convenient access to both downtown Oakland and Emeryville.
Residents value local gathering spots such as Hoover Elementary School and nearby Marcus Garvey Park, which anchor neighborhood events and weekend play. Cultural destinations like the North Oakland Senior Center and the long-running New Karibbean City nightlife venue reflect the area’s mix of longtime locals and newer arrivals. Quick access to MacArthur BART and the Bay Bridge appeals to commuters who want neighborhood character without sacrificing regional connectivity.
Housing in Hoover-Foster ranges from classic early 20th-century homes to newer small-scale infill, attracting buyers who appreciate architectural variety and relative value compared with West Oakland or Downtown. The market can move quickly, with competitively priced properties drawing strong interest.
For current residents weighing a sale and for buyers hoping to secure the right home before prices shift further, timing and preparation are critical. A knowledgeable local agent can help you understand recent sales, neighborhood trends, and off-market opportunities. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right Hoover-Foster real estate professional so you can move forward with confidence.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mia was great. I was previously an agent. I knew mia and her work quality and when it came time to sell she was a great option. She also had the best market value projections through her experience in San Francisco. When issues arose she handled the situation very help and help lead to a smooth closing. My partner and I are very appreciative of her quality of overall service.”
“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!”
“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 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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
