July 2025 Market Snapshot: ZIP Code 94601

by Pamela Oettel

If you own a home in Oakland’s 94601 ZIP code, July’s market data offers some valuable insights into what’s happening—and what it might mean for your next move.

🏡 Key Stats for Single-Family Homes:

Average Sales Price: $631,000 ↑ 3%
Average List Price: $639,000 (no change)
Properties Sold: 11 ↓ 3%
Average Days on Market: 40 ↑ 8%
Properties for Sale: 47 ↑ 3%

💡 What This Means for Sellers

The slight uptick in average sales price is encouraging, but the increase in days on market and inventory suggests buyers are becoming more price sensitive. Homes that are well-prepared and strategically priced are still selling—but it’s taking a bit longer.

If you’re thinking about selling, this is a good time to:

Review your pricing strategy carefully.
Stage your home to stand out in a growing pool of listings.
Highlight upgrades or energy-efficient features that add value.
