Oakland-Berkeley Inner East Bay Region Real Estate

7 Months into the Pandemic

October 2020 Report

The table below compares Q3 statistics across 5 years. Median and average house values continued to rise, while condo values were relatively flat. There was an increase in the number of sales, and of higher-price home sales in particular. Overbidding declined a little, but the region still has the highest average percentage of sales price to asking price in the Bay Area. Average days on market continued to be very low, virtually unchanged for the last 5 years.

Median House Sales Price by Year

In dollar terms, the increase in median house sales price has been remarkably consistent over the past 7 years, after the big jump in 2013 when the recovery really kicked into gear.
