Alameda: Many Sales Are 3bd/2ba or More

Alameda Recent Sales

This past July there were 56 residential sales in Alameda. Of these, 66% were 3bd/2ba or larger. As an Oakland resident and owner of a 950-square foot 2bd/2ba, these Alameda homes sound palatial to me. Plus, the fact that they make up the majority of sales I find interesting and surprising. Interesting because Alameda is one of the closest cities to San Francisco in the Bay Area and within an easy commute; surprising because I tend to think of homes of this size as being further out in areas such as Contra Costa county. Home sales in July had a range of days on the market (DOM): the shortest DOM was 1309 Caroline St., a 3bd/2ba that was listed for $845,000 and sold for the same. The MLS shows it being 1 DOM. At 276 days on the market, the longest DOM was 1157 Straub Way, a 3bd/2ba townhome that sold for $49k less than its list price at $610,000. The least expensive home that sold last month was 1825 Shoreline Dr. #211, a 1bd/1ba that sold for $250,000 (just a smidgen above its $249,900 list price) while the most expensive home, 1208 Saint Charles St. a 5bd/4ba sold for $2,050,000 ($145k less than list). Almost half of all residences (46%) sold between $500k and $699k. Below I’ve featured some of the 3bd/2ba (and one 3bd/3ba) that sold last month. I searched for photos so you wouldn’t have to; for those that I could not find photos, I’ve linked the address to their Redfin listing.
