As 2025 has come and gone, the Bay Area housing market continues to show clear signs of adjustment rather than decline. While headlines often focus on interest rates or short-term price shifts, the real story is playing out at the neighborhood level. Differences in inventory, days on market, and buyer competition vary widely from city to city, and even between single-family homes and condos. Below is a detailed snapshot of December 2025 market activity across key East Bay communities, offering a clearer picture of where the market is holding firm, where it’s softening, and where opportunities may be emerging for buyers and sellers heading into 2026.

What these numbers highlight most is that the Bay Area remains a highly localized market. Even as inventory levels rise and days on market stretch in some segments, well-priced homes in desirable areas continue to attract strong buyer interest. For sellers, strategy and pricing matter more than ever. For buyers, improving selection and reduced urgency can create real leverage, especially in the condo and townhome space. If you’re considering buying or selling in 2026, understanding how your specific city and property type are performing is key. A local, data-driven approach will always outperform broad market assumptions.
