“Justin is the agent you need. This is my second time with him and he's just getting better. The quality and value and experience he has is unmatched. You need somebody that is going to fight for you, somebody that leaves no stone unturned and can give you peace of mind. We had several obstacles to overcome and he held my hand the whole time. He knows how to strategize, think on his feet, and he'll literally predict the entire process as you watch it play out in real time. He knows everybody in the business, but not just in his field. He has a "rolodex" of the best service providers (ie Handyman, Loan officers, Cleaning, landscaping, contractors, etc) who I've become close with all of them and use them still. Our challenges occured during the gov't shutdown. He stayed the course while the odds were against us. I have been referring clients to him for 15 years now. I trust him and he delivers and he cares. He not only earns his commish, he puts it to work FOR YOU. That's VALUE MY FRIENDS”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Year-over-year, Merriwood’s rolling three-month typical home value has edged down while activity has picked up. Homes sold have increased compared with last year, and pending sales are also higher, signaling more buyers in motion. At the same time, inventory is slightly lower than a year ago, keeping conditions tight for those looking to purchase.
In the latest three-month window through June 2026, the typical home value sits around $1.32 million, noticeably above the broader Oakland figure. Homes are moving quickly with a median of just 13 days on market, and months of supply is down to about one month, underscoring a strong seller’s market. A large share of recent sales closed above asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio is well over 100 percent, showing that buyers often bid up to win desirable properties.
Current listing trends show a modest increase in new listings and a healthy rise in homes sold compared with a year ago, which gives buyers a bit more to choose from even as competition stays intense. Active listings are slightly below last year’s levels, so pricing power still tends to favor sellers. With Merriwood’s prices running higher than the citywide median and homes selling fast, both buyers and sellers can benefit from working with an experienced local agent that Agent Pronto can help them find.
Learn more about what Merriwood has to offer.
Merriwood offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with easy access to parks, shops, and neighborhood events that make everyday life feel connected and vibrant.
Merriwood in Oakland stands apart from nearby Montclair and Piedmont with its intimate scale, tucked-away lanes, and strong sense of privacy amid the hills. Many homes are surrounded by mature redwoods and winding streets, creating a quiet residential feel while still keeping you close to Rockridge, Upper Rockridge, and the cultural energy of Downtown Oakland.
Outdoor access is a major part of daily life here. Residents are minutes from the trails of Joaquin Miller Park, the redwood groves at Roberts Regional Recreation Area, and the lakeside paths around Lake Temescal Regional Recreation Area. Families appreciate proximity to well-regarded schools such as Montera Middle School and the neighborhood’s quick access down the hill to College Avenue’s shops and cafes.
Housing in Merriwood ranges from midcentury designs to custom hillside homes, and inventory can be limited, which often creates quiet but competitive bidding. For buyers, being preapproved and working with an agent who understands micro-neighborhood differences, school zones, and commute routes is crucial. For sellers, timing the market, preparing the property for photography and inspections, and pricing for both local and out-of-area buyers can significantly affect outcomes.
Agent Pronto connects Merriwood buyers and sellers with agents who know this pocket of the hills in detail, helping you make the most of your timing and preparation.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“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.”
“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!”
