Fremont Real Estate Market Update: May 2026

Happy Cinco de Mayo! While many see it as a modern celebration, the tradition actually took root in California mining towns in the 1860s to honor the Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla. Over time, it became a lasting symbol of Mexican American pride and resilience. In that same spirit of strength, our local housing market continues to hold firm in most areas this spring, showing stability despite challenging conditions.

As always, please 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. You can also check out my website for more resources & guides (www.joshuy.com).

Fremont - Quick takeaways (5/05/26): 📈

April 2026 prices - Fremont climbed back into the $1.9s last month, with the average home now selling for $1.96M. While price increased 5.6% from March, the average sold $ / sq ft figure fell 4%. Price wise, we are just under the level from November 2025 at $1.98M, also note the average for this year now moves up to $1.89M. Number of April sales above $3M = 3 (vs 3 in March, 5 in Feb, 1 in Jan).
Price over asking % - Homes were typically selling 5.6% above asking last month, slightly dipping from March's 6.1% figure. Note the same thing happened last year, as March 2025 saw homes selling 7.7% over, while April 2025 was still positive but dipped to 6.2%.
6 month change - With April's price boost, the 6 month price figure is down just 3.3% from $2.02M. Since then, we have managed to break through the $2M barrier twice, while also posting a few months in the $1.7Ms-$1.8Ms (FYI the average for 2026 = $1.89M). Note while average price is down 3.2% since Oct 2025, the sold $ / sq ft dipped just 0.6%.
