Upper Laurel’s rolling three-month trend points to cooling prices from the highs of recent years. The median sale price was about $1.08M in early 2023 and moved down to roughly $789,500 by early 2026. Over that same span, supply loosened from less than one month in late 2022 to closer to four months in several recent periods.
Looking more closely at the latest rolling window ending in May 2026, Upper Laurel sits within a broader Oakland market where prices are edging up modestly year over year, with the citywide median around $884,000 and months of supply at 2.9. Earlier in 2026, Upper Laurel showed about 3.9 months of supply and a median of 29 days on market, suggesting a slower pace than the frenzied conditions seen in 2023.
Sales activity has also shifted over time, with quarterly closings ranging from just 4 or 6 homes sold in some earlier periods to nearly 19 in early 2025, then easing back to around 10 by early 2026. The share of homes selling above list price has come down from near or above 80 percent in several 2023–2025 snapshots to around 60 percent more recently, signaling that bidding wars are less intense. Even with these changes, Upper Laurel still shows a seller’s market reading, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands the current balance of power and local trends.
Upper Laurel offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with green spaces, convenient amenities, and walkable streets that support an active, connected lifestyle.
Upper Laurel in Oakland stands out from nearby Laurel and Dimond with a distinctly residential feel that still keeps you close to daily conveniences. Along MacArthur Boulevard, small local businesses, taquerias, and neighborhood markets give the area its character, while tree lined side streets feature a mix of mid century bungalows, traditional homes, and a growing number of thoughtful updates.
Families appreciate proximity to Laurel Elementary School and the easy drive to Merritt College, while commuters value access to Highways 580 and 13 and connections to AC Transit. Weekend routines often center on nearby Redwood Regional Park and Joaquin Miller Park for hiking, dog walking, and cooler canyon air. Daily coffee runs and casual meetups happen at independent cafés and eateries that draw residents from Maxwell Park and Allendale as well.
Housing in Upper Laurel attracts both first time buyers and long term Oakland residents looking to trade up or downsize without leaving their community. Well priced homes can move quickly, and competitive situations are not uncommon, especially for properties with updates or outdoor space.
Whether you are planning to buy into Upper Laurel or list your home, timing, preparation, and neighborhood specific knowledge matter. From pricing strategy and pre market improvements to navigating inspections and local demand, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands Upper Laurel and is ready to guide both 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.”
“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!”
