Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lower Bottoms real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Lower Bottoms currently leans toward a seller’s market, with a market gauge of 18. Limited supply, with just 21 homes for sale in March 2026, helps keep conditions tilted toward sellers. At the same time, prices have softened compared to last year, creating some openings for buyers.
Typical home values are around $585,000, which is notably below the broader Oakland figure of $882,500, and year over year values in Lower Bottoms are down about 20.08 percent. Homes are taking longer to sell, sitting on the market a median of 127 days, up more than 70 percent from a year ago and about 58 percent from the prior month. Even with slower timelines, more than half of recent sales, about 55.6 percent, still close above the list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 1.00, showing that well-priced homes can attract strong offers.
Listing activity has pulled back, with only 18 new listings in March and a year-over-year drop of 40 percent, while pending sales are up 50 percent from last year, signaling solid buyer interest despite fewer options. Looking ahead to April 2026, both the typical home value and median list price are projected to ease slightly to about $540,750 and $672,000, while inventory is expected to hold around 21 homes. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate slower days on market or a seller aiming to price correctly in a shifting landscape, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands Lower Bottoms.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Lower Bottoms offers residents a vibrant, walkable community with local shops, arts and cultural events, and accessible housing options that support connection and everyday life.
Lower Bottoms stands out from nearby West Oakland and Downtown Oakland with its deep historic roots and strong sense of local identity. Once an industrial hub tied to the waterfront and rail lines, the neighborhood today reflects a close-knit community where long‑time residents and newer arrivals intersect at corner stores, block gatherings, and creative spaces.
You are close to major hubs yet removed from their pace. The West Oakland BART Station connects commuters quickly to San Francisco and the broader Bay Area. Green spaces like Ralph J. Bunche Park and nearby DeFremery Park offer sports courts, open lawns, and community programming. Food and culture spill over from Uptown and Old Oakland, while neighborhood favorites and small businesses reflect the area’s Black cultural legacy and creative energy.
Lower Bottoms real estate ranges from historic Victorians and early 20th‑century homes to newer infill and loft-style conversions. Proximity to Jack London Square and freeway access appeals to buyers looking for an urban location with neighborhood-scale streets.
For both current residents and potential movers, timing and preparation are crucial here. Inventory can be limited and interest moves quickly, especially near transit and parks. A knowledgeable local agent can help buyers position strong offers and guide sellers on strategic pricing, repairs, and marketing. Agent Pronto connects you with the right Lower Bottoms expert so both buyers and sellers can move confidently.

“We had a short timeline to sell our home and some last-minute surprises, but Jim navigated the process with efficiency and professionalism and got the job done. We're thrilled with the result and would be happy to work with Jim again or recommend him to anyone looking for great service at a fair price.”
“Santiago myself and my daughter had the most respect for him. He sold one house for me and he helped me purchase the home I have now. He explained everything to us. He told me if I had any questions that I could call him anytime day or night even weekends. I would recommend him n a minute to anyone looking for a realtor. Santiago thank u for everything from the bottom of my heart. I am very happy for my new house Sincerely Karen Hand”
“We could not have an more experience person selling the house”
“Gina Bocage is an outstanding realtor! She is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about her clients. She made the entire buying/selling process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate professional.”
“We worked with Payal to purchase our home in the Bay Area and our experience was fantastic. Payal is a great communicator and was always quick to respond to texts, phone calls, and emails for any questions we had. Although we were already familiar with the home purchase process, she was always available to answer any questions we had. She helped us view several homes until we found the perfect one for us and was always available when we needed her. She did a great job negotiating on our behalf during the entire purchase process and we always felt she had our back. Overall we really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to all our friends, family, and neighbors! Thanks Payal!”
“Travis went above and beyond with helping me find my home. He was so helpful and patience with me . Never felt pressured to buy a home. He guided me and helped me to look for a nice area, specially because I'm not familiar with Manteca neighborhoods. I'm so glad I found him and also Miss Patino did an amazing job too.”
“Our home was on the market for over a year in a tough location, during an unfavorable market, and amid a complicated family situation. Justin Bonney stepped in after another agent left us hanging, untangled the mess, and guided us through every step with professionalism, honesty, and constant communication. He is a man of character and expertise. Even in one of the most challenging cases, Justin never gave up on us and got us to the finish line. He went above and beyond, handling the behind-the-scenes work we’ll never forget. We not only found our go-to agent but also gained a trusted friend. Highly recommend Justin to anyone who needs someone reliable, resourceful, and committed when it matters most.”
“At our first meeting Gautam had an accurate understanding of my neighborhood and it's surroundings. After walking through the house and the yards he gave a clear assessment of our home's value and the reasons why. He also had an idea of what types of buyers would likely show interest, and how to market our home to them. He had an excellent advertising package in mind. One day after being on the market we received a full-price offer. It fell through, but in line were two more full-price offers. The second potential buyer became the buyer. There were three issues with the property that arose and he handled them all. That was especially helpful as we were already out-of-state. The house sold without further issues. Gotham was easy to work with, and his expertise gave me confidence that things would be well-handled. I recommend Gautam highly, and would recommend him to family and friends.”
“We were able to get the house we wanted within our budget, all thanks to Pillar Tobias. She was really helpful in trying multiple ways to get our loan approved. It was a bit rough because we had a lot of issues but her dedication and persistence made us pull through. Thank you so much for all your efforts, and for not giving up even when we already did.”
“Several agents reached out to us with basic information, but Jane Cresswell's initial contact was a step above all the others. She'd done some research and already had some helpful information about our property. Outstanding from the outset and brilliant throughout.”
“Matt was very professional and personable. He was attentive to all my questions and took care of the "little things" diligently. He was also a great resource for the technicalities of the moving process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy.”
“You recommended 2 agents, both of whom contacted me but Tyron did so within a few hours and we hit it off and he got the job. Thank you for the excellent recommendation!”
“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”
“Chuck was a complete pleasure to work with! We have made a new friend!”
“We just bought our first home. I had no idea where to find a realtor to work with. I'm so glad I found Agent Pronto. They put me in contact with Liliana who is amazing! I would highly recommend this service to anyone!”
