Fremont Real Estate Market Update

As Diwali brings the festival of lights this weekend, October’s real estate numbers are shedding some light of their own. We're seeing steadier values despite lighter activity. Fremont, Hayward, Union City, and San Jose all saw prices rise, while Newark and Milpitas softened slightly. Sold price per square foot also climbed in five of our six local markets. Buyers are negotiating a bit harder right now, though, with the "price over asking" premium cooling in four of the six cities. Mortgage rates certainly played a role as the 30 year fixed touched 7.4% in mid October, the highest we've seen since November 2023. Real estate is always hyper local, so here’s exactly how each city stacked up!
Check out the updated Fremont Home Price Tracker site, designed to bring these local market metrics to life with an interactive, visual display! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to do a thorough / personalized analysis beyond this data report.
