What We’re Seeing

Homes are selling much faster, with an average of just 17 days on market. Buyers are engaged and ready, especially when homes are priced strategically. Both list prices and final sales prices moved higher, reflecting continued demand and a level of price sensitivity—buyers are active, but they’re paying attention to value.

Inventory increased as well, giving buyers more options, but not enough to slow the overall pace. With more homes selling than currently available, Berkeley remains a competitive market.

The Takeaway

March showed that Berkeley’s market is entering the spring season with confidence. Sellers who prepare and price carefully are benefiting from buyer demand, while buyers need to stay informed and ready to act.
