ZIP Code 94609 Market Snapshot – August 2025

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.
