Spring has arrived across the East Bay, and the housing market is following suit, a mix of sunshine and showers. Activity is picking up, but not evenly. Some neighborhoods are seeing strong competition and multiple offers, while others are moving at a more measured pace.
Recent reporting highlights just how selective this market has become. With 250+ fewer homes than last year, competition is heating up in areas like Alameda, Berkeley, Oakland, and Lafayette. At the same time, as Linnette Edwards recently noted to SF Business Times, “The condo market is where we’re seeing real stress… in some cases… due to HOA and financing constraints.”
The result? A clear two-speed market this spring.
✨ Bottom line: This spring market rewards strategy. Buyers are finding opportunities, and sellers who price and prepare well are still seeing strong results. Your local Abio team is here to help you navigate it all. 🌷🏡
