San Ramon

  • The median sale price in June 2025 was approximately $1.58M–$1.60M, reflecting a modest 1–3.5% year-over‑year decline (Redfin, Zillow).

  • Homes typically go under contract in about 17 to 19 days, compared to around 12 days last year. The city remains in a strong seller’s market with around 3 offers per home on average (Redfin).

Livermore

  • As of June 2025, the median price was about $1.135M, down roughly 5.8% compared to a year earlier (Redfin).

  • Market remains competitive: typical homes receive 4 offers and sell in ~19 days (Redfin).

Fremont

  • The median sale price stood at approximately $1.5M, reflecting a 5.1% drop year-over-year as of June 2025 (Redfin).

  • Market dynamics remain tight: homes average about 4 offers and close in about 23 days (Redfin).

📊 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

Buyers

  • More choice is emerging in Pleasanton and Dublin as inventory increases—but affordability still challenges many.

  • Price declines in San Ramon, Livermore, and Fremont present entry opportunities, especially for buyers willing to move quickly and act on well-priced listings.

Sellers

  • Single-family homes remain in strong demand, often receiving multiple offers and selling fast.

  • Homes priced at or below median may still command offers above listing price, but accurately pricing homes and optimizing presentation are increasingly critical.

Both

  • Rising interest rates and homeowner “lock-in” effects are keeping listings tight, keeping pressure on supply even as more homes hit the market (Pleasanton Weekly, YouTube, thecalagents.com).

  • Neighborhood-specific dynamics matter: school zones, transit access, and local amenities still drive localized pricing differences across Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Fremont.
