,805


The snapshot of the Alameda market shows that the number of new homes
on the market last week are very close to last week’s statistics. Pending activity remains very close to the previous week. During the summer statistics have remain fairly level. New properties are coming on the market steadily and just as steadily they are going into to contract quickly.



Average sales price has spiked this week from $455,500 the previous week to the current week’s sales price of $517,805 .  A snapshot of the Alameda real estate market does not show a true picture of the market trend.  More time is needed to determine trends.



Older couple looking at a real estate site on their laptopPrices have climbed but there are still good values in Alameda.
This is still a good time to be looking for a home since interest rates are very low in 3% - 3.5% range.  The low inventory may be the only impediment to finding a home.  However, new homes have continually come on the market this summer. Buyers need to have an agent who watches the market frequently and knows what is available now.
