A Competitive Market Across North Oakland

The average sales price rose to $1.61M, up 31%, even as the average list price came in at $742,000. That gap reflects continued buyer competition, particularly for homes that are well located and thoughtfully prepared.

Homes moved quickly.
The average days on market dropped to just 16, down 47%, and homes received an average of 7 offers. In neighborhoods like Bushrod and Temescal, multiple-offer situations remain common when pricing aligns with current demand.

Tight Inventory, Steady Demand

Only 4 homes were actively for sale during the period, a 43% decrease, while 6 homes sold, up 29%. This imbalance continues to shape the market throughout North Oakland, reinforcing the need for careful strategy on both sides of the transaction.

What This Means for Homeowners

Strong conditions don’t eliminate the need for smart preparation and pricing. Buyers remain selective, even in competitive environments, and homes that miss the mark feel it quickly—while well-positioned homes tend to attract immediate attention.
