Berkeley Real Estate Market Update – December 2025

by Pamela Oettel

As 2025 came to a close, the Berkeley single-family home market showed some notable trends:

Average Sales Price: $1.77M, down 3% from the previous month.
Average List Price: $1.89M, up 6%, indicating sellers are still pricing confidently.
Sales Price/List Price Ratio: 114.6%, down 10%, but homes are still selling well above asking.
Average Days on Market: 30 days, a 70% increase, suggesting buyers have more time to make decisions.
Active Listings: 81 properties, down 23%, which means inventory remains tight.

What does this mean for you?

If you’re planning to sell, pricing strategically is key as buyers take a little longer to commit. For buyers, this could be an opportunity to negotiate while inventory is still limited.
