ZIP Code 94609 Market Snapshot – August 2025

by Pamela Oettel

If you’ve been watching the Oakland market, especially in ZIP code 94609, August brought some eye-catching shifts for single family homes - especially for sellers.

Here’s what stood out:

Average Sales Price: $1.49M — up 11% from earlier this summer.
Average List Price: Holding steady at $1.12M.
Number of Properties Sold: 8 homes closed.
Average Days on Market: Just 17 days before an offer is accepted
Active Listings: Only 12 homes for sale.

This kind of price sensitivity and low inventory is creating a competitive environment for buyers, while sellers are seeing faster closings and stronger offers.

💡 Pamela’s Take:
I’ve been seeing more downsizers and move-up buyers exploring this area, especially around Temescal and Rockridge. If you’re thinking about selling, this could be a great moment to take advantage of the momentum.
