Sean Walsh - Kai Real Estate - Oakland

Excited to share that I’ve joined Kai Real Estate.

I joined Kai because its local, collaborative approach fits the way I want to serve clients.

This move gives me a strong platform to keep doing the work I care about most: helping Oakland and Berkeley sellers prepare, position, and present their homes with an intentional design plan and hands-on project management.

From paint, flooring, lighting, landscaping, repairs, staging, photography, and final presentation, I help clients focus their time and budget where it matters. I also continue to work with buyers who want clear guidance on value, condition, design potential, and long-term resale.

If you are considering a move, planning a sale, or simply want to talk through a property, I’d love to connect. Link in bio.

If you are a homeowner in Oakland or Berkeley wondering whether now is the right time to list, here is something worth knowing.

San Francisco buyers are crossing the bridge in force. They are tired of getting outbid on the city side, and they are bringing their budgets and their motivation with them.

A recent sale in Rockridge closed $500,000 over asking on a 1,000-square-foot Craftsman. That is not an outlier right now. That is what happens when a concentrated pool of capable buyers competes for a limited supply of well-presented homes.

Inventory in Oakland is below one month of supply. Demand is real. Spring is here.

If you have been sitting on the fence, this is a good moment to have a conversation. Happy to walk you through what the market looks like for your specific home and neighborhood.

I just launched a new Rockridge neighborhood guide.

The goal was simple: create something genuinely useful for anyone who wants to understand what it is actually like to live in Rockridge.

Not just homes. The whole neighborhood.

The guide includes local restaurants, events, family resources, parks, schools, architecture, market context, and the everyday details that make Rockridge one of the East Bay’s most loved communities.

You can explore:

Restaurants and coffee along College Avenue

Rockridge events and community traditions

Craftsman homes, bungalows, and neighborhood architecture

Parks, schools, and family resources

Market insight for buyers and sellers

A no-pressure way to ask questions about the neighborhood

I built this to be helpful first. Whether you are thinking about moving, already live nearby, or just love Rockridge, I hope it becomes a resource you come back to.

Oakland’s million dollar market is not cooling down. Rockridge is sitting at a $2.2M median. Crocker Highlands is at $1. 8M. Both are selling in under two weeks with multiple offers.
If you own a home in one of these neighborhoods, or nearby, the numbers are working in your favor. But preparation still matters. The homes that are priced right and show well are the ones commanding 20 to 30 percent over list.
Thinking about selling in 2025 or 2026? Let’s talk. I work with a small number of sellers each year, and I focus on getting the home ready and positioned to perform. DM me or visit the link in bio.
